Cold and trapped metastable noble gases
Wim Null Vassen, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Michèle Leduc +7
We review experimental and theoretical work on cold, trapped metastable noble gases. We em- phasize the aspects which distinguish work with these atoms from the large body of work…
Lifetime of weakly-bound dimers of ultracold metastable helium studied by photoassociation
Steven Moal, Maximilien Portier, Nassim Zahzam +1
We describe two-photon photoassociation (PA) experiments operated in an ultracold gas of metastable He atoms in the state. Atom-molecule dark resonances as well as…
Accurate determination of the scattering length of metastable Helium atoms using dark resonances between atoms and exotic molecules
S. Moal, M. Portier, J. Kim +4
We present a new measurement of the s-wave scattering length a of spin-polarized helium atoms in the 2^3S_1 metastable state. Using two-photon photoassociation spectroscopy and dar…
Polarized Helium to Image the Lung
Michèle Leduc, Pierre-Jean Nacher
The main findings of the european PHIL project (Polarised Helium to Image the Lung) are reported. State of the art optical pumping techniques for polarising ^3He gas are described.…
Prospects for measurement and control of the scattering length of metastable helium using photoassociation techniques
J. C. J. Koelemeij, M. Leduc
A numerical investigation of two-laser photoassociation (PA) spectroscopy on spin-polarized metastable helium (He*) atoms is presented within the context of experimental observatio…
Analysis of Photoassociation Spectra for Giant Helium Dimers
J. Leonard, A. P. Mosk, M. Walhout +3
We perform a theoretical analysis to interpret the spectra of purely long-range helium dimers produced by photoassociation (PA) in an ultra-cold gas of metastable helium atoms. The…
