AtomECS: Simulate laser cooling and magneto-optical traps
X. Chen, M. Zeuner, U. Schneider +3
AtomECS is a software package that efficiently simulates the motion of neutral atoms experiencing forces exerted by laser radiation, such as in magneto-optical traps and Zeeman slo…
Inelastic collisions in radiofrequency-dressed mixtures of ultracold atoms
Elliot Bentine, Adam J. Barker, Kathrin Luksch +6
Radiofrequency (RF)-dressed potentials are a promising technique for manipulating atomic mixtures, but so far little work has been undertaken to understand the collisions of atoms…
AION: An Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network
L. Badurina, E. Bentine, D. Blas +38
We outline the experimental concept and key scientific capabilities of AION (Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network), a proposed UK-based experimental programme using cold str…
AEDGE: Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration in Space
Yousef Abou El-Neaj, Cristiano Alpigiani, Sana Amairi-Pyka +129
We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range bet…
Probing multiple-frequency atom-photon interactions with ultracold atoms
Kathrin Luksch, Elliot Bentine, Adam J. Barker +4
We dress atoms with multiple-radiofrequency fields and investigate the spectrum of transitions driven by an additional probe field. A complete theoretical description of this rich…
