Camparison of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect for bosons and fermions
Tom Jeltes, John M. McNamara, Wim Hogervorst +8
Fifty years ago, Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) discovered photon bunching in light emitted by a chaotic source, highlighting the importance of two-photon correlations and stimulati…
Production of a degenerate Fermi gas of metastable helium-3 atoms
W. Vassen, T. Jeltes, J. M. McNamara +1
We give an overview of the experiments at the Laser Centre of the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam on ultracold gases of metastable helium-4 and helium-3 as well as mixtures of both…
A Degenerate Bose-Fermi Mixture of Metastable Atoms
J. M. McNamara, T. Jeltes, A. S. Tychkov +2
We report the observation of simultaneous quantum degeneracy in a dilute gaseous Bose-Fermi mixture of metastable atoms. Sympathetic cooling of helium-3 (fermion) by helium-4 (boso…
Homonuclear ionizing collisions of laser-cooled metastable helium atoms
R. J. W. Stas, J. M. McNamara, W. Hogervorst +1
We present a theoretical and experimental investigation of homonuclear ionizing collisions of laser-cooled metastable helium atoms, considering both the fermionic He-3 and bosonic…
