A moving magnetic mirror to slow down a bunch of atoms
arXiv:cond-mat/0608710 · doi:10.1140/epjd/e2006-00244-6
Abstract
A fast packet of cold atoms is coupled into a magnetic guide and subsequently slowed down by reflection on a magnetic potential barrier ('mirror') moving along the guide. A detailed characterization of the resulting decelerated packet is performed. We show also how this technique can be used to generate a continuous and intense flux of slow, magnetically guided atoms.
