Cryogenic source of atomic tritium for neutrino-mass measurements and precision spectroscopy
Aleksei Semakin, Janne Ahokas, Tom Kiilerich +9
We propose a concept for a cryogenic source of atomic tritium at sub-Kelvin temperatures and energies suitable for magnetic trapping. The source is based on the dissociation of sol…
Cold source of atomic hydrogen for loading large magnetic traps
A. Semakin, J. Ahokas, O. Hanski +8
We present a design and performance tests of an intense source of cold hydrogen atoms for loading large magnetic traps. Our source is based on a cryogenic dissociator of molecular…
GRASIAN: Shaping and characterization of the cold hydrogen and deuterium beams for the forthcoming first demonstration of gravitational quantum states of atoms
Carina Killian, Philipp Blumer, Paolo Crivelli +9
A low energy particle confined by a horizontal reflective surface and gravity settles in gravitationally bound quantum states. These gravitational quantum states (GQS) were so far…
GRASIAN: Towards the first demonstration of gravitational quantum states of atoms with a cryogenic hydrogen beam
Carina Killian, Zakary Burkley, Philipp Blumer +12
At very low energies, a light neutral particle above a horizontal surface can experience quantum reflection. The quantum reflection holds the particle against gravity and leads to…
A large octupole magnetic trap for research with atomic hydrogen
J. Ahokas, A. Semakin, J. Järvinen +12
We describe the design and performance of a large magnetic trap for storing and cooling of atomic hydrogen (H). The trap operates in the vacuum space of a dilution refrigerator at…
Quantum reflection of antihydrogen from a liquid helium film
P. -P. Crépin, E. A. Kupriyanova, R. Guérout +5
We study the quantum reflection of ultracold antihydrogen atoms bouncing on the surface of a liquid helium film. The Casimir-Polder potential and quantum reflection are calculated…
