Understanding one-body losses in magnetically trapped metastable europium atoms
Hiroki Matsui, Yuki Miyazawa, Ryotaro Inoue +1
We report the measurement of one-body loss rates for magnetically trapped metastable europium atoms and the study of their loss mechanism. The loss of atoms observed in a magneto-o…

Narrow-line magneto-optical trap for europium
Yuki Miyazawa, Ryotaro Inoue, Hiroki Matsui +2
We report on the realization of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) for europium atoms using a narrow-line cooling transition with a natural linewidth of 97 kHz. Our starting point is con…

Magneto-optical trapping of optically pumped metastable europium
Ryotaro Inoue, Yuki Miyazawa, Mikio Kozuma
We demonstrate laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of europium. The atoms are optically pumped to a metastable state and then loaded from an atomic-beam source via conventio…
