Comparative investigation of 39K and 40K trap loss rates: alternative loss channel at low light intensities
G. Modugno, G. Roati, M. Inguscio +4
We report a comparative investigation of trap loss rates in a magneto-optical trap for two potassium isotopes, 39K and 40K, as a function of trap light intensity. The isotopes pres…

Capture Velocity for a Magneto-Optical Trap in a Broad Range of Light Intensity
S. R. Muniz, K. M. F. Magalhaes, Ph. W. Courteille +3
In a recent paper, we have used the dark-spot Zeeman tuned slowing technique [Phys. Rev. A 62, 013404-1, (2000)] to measure the capture velocity as a function of laser intensity fo…

Magnetic Field Tomography
Ph. W. Courteille, S. R. Muniz, K. Magalhaes +3
Neutral atoms may be trapped via the interaction of their magnetic dipole moment with magnetic field gradients. One of the possible schemes is the cloverleaf trap. It is often desi…
