Rapid axial loading of a grating MOT with a cold-atom beam
Rachel Cannon, Aidan S. Arnold, Paul F. Griffin +2
Laser-cooled atoms are increasingly being used to realise practical quantum devices, motivating the development of compact and robust atom sources. Grating magneto-optical traps (g…

Practical primary thermometry via alkali-metal-vapour Doppler broadening
Nicola Agnew, Veronika Vohníková, Erling Riis +2
Doppler-broadening thermometry (DBT) can be used as a calibration-free primary reference suitable for practical applications, e.g. reliably measuring temperatures over long periods…

A high-flux cold-atom source utilising a grating atom chip
Hendrik Heine, Melanie S Le Gonidec, Aidan S Arnold +4
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have been proposed for many applications in atom interferometry, as their coherence over long evolution times promises unprecedented sensitivity. T…
