Stopping Supersonic Beams with an Atomic Coilgun
Edvardas Narevicius, Adam Libson, Christian G. Parthey +4
We report the stopping of an atomic beam, using a series of pulsed electromagnetic coils. We use a supersonic beam of metastable neon created in a gas discharge as a monochromatic…

Coherent Slowing of a Supersonic Beam with an Atomic Paddle
E. Narevicius, A. Libson, M. F. Riedel +4
We report the slowing of a supersonic beam by elastic reflection from a receding atomic mirror. We use a pulsed supersonic nozzle to generate a 511 +/- 9 m/s beam of helium that we…
