First observation of feshbach resonances at very low magnetic field in a 133Cs fountain
H. Marion, S. Bize, L. Cacciapuoti +9
One of the main limitations of cesium atomic fountains has been the cold collision frequency shift. By using a method based on a transfer of population by adiabatic passage allowin…
