Transverse confinement in stochastic cooling of trapped atoms
arXiv:quant-ph/0402009 · doi:10.1088/1464-4266/6/6/010
Abstract
Stochastic cooling of trapped atoms is considered for a laser-beam configuration with beam waists equal or smaller than the extent of the atomic cloud. It is shown, that various effects appear due to this transverse confinement, among them heating of transverse kinetic energy. Analytical results of the cooling in dependence on size and location of the laser beam are presented for the case of a non-degenerate vapour.
