Zeeman Relaxation of Cold Atomic Iron and Nickel in Collisions with 3He
Cort Johnson, Bonna Newman, Nathan Brahms +3
We have measured the ratio of the diffusion cross-section to the angular momentum reorientation cross-section in the colliding Fe-3He and Ni-3He systems. Nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe)…
Magnetic trapping of silver and copper, and anomolous spin relaxation in the Ag-He system
N. Brahms, B. Newman, C. Johnson +3
We have trapped large numbers of copper and silver atoms using buffer gas cooling. Up to 3x10^12 copper atoms and 4x10^13 silver atoms are trapped. Lifetimes are as long as 5 s, li…
Inelastic Collision Rates of Trapped Metastable Hydrogen
David Landhuis, Lia Matos, Stephen C. Moss +5
We report the first detailed decay studies of trapped metastable (2S) hydrogen. By two-photon excitation of ultracold H samples, we have produced clouds of at least 5x10^7 magnetic…
One Hundred Years of Quantum Physics
Daniel Kleppner, Roman Jackiw
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the quantum idea, the development, achievements, and promises of quantum mechanics are described.
Cold Collision Frequency Shift of an Optical Spectrum of a Trapped Gas
Mehmet O. Oktel, Thomas C. Killian, Daniel Kleppner +1
We develop an exact sum rule that relates the spectral shift of a trapped gas undergoing cold collisions to measurable quantities of the system. The method demonstrates the depende…
Bose-Einstein Condensation of Atomic Hydrogen
Daniel Kleppner, Thomas J. Greytak, Thomas C. Killian +4
We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of trapped atomic hydrogen, and studied it by two-photon spectroscopy of the 1S-2S transition. In these lecture notes we briefly r…
