Radio-frequency association of molecules: the dressed state picture
Q. Beaufils, A. Crubellier, T. Zanon +4
We develop a theoretical model to describe the radio-frequency (rf) induced coupling of a pair of colliding atoms to a Feshbach molecule when a magnetic field arbitrarily far from…
A Feshbach resonance in d-wave collisions
Q. Beaufils, A. Crubellier, T. Zanon +4
We analyse a narrow Feshbach resonance with ultra-cold chromium atoms colliding in d-wave. The resonance is made possible by dipole-dipole interactions, which couple an incoming $l…
A magnetic lens for cold atoms controlled by a rf field
E. Marechal, B. Laburthe-Tolra, L. Vernac +2
We report on a new type of magnetic lens that focuses atomic clouds using a static inhomogeneous magnetic field in combination with a radio-frequency field. The experimental study…
Accumulation of chromium metastable atoms into an Optical Trap
R. Chicireanu, Q. Beaufils, A. Pouderous +5
We report the fast accumulation of a large number of metastable 52Cr atoms in a mixed trap, formed by the superposition of a strongly confining optical trap and a quadrupolar magne…
Accumulation and thermalization of cold atoms in a finite-depth magnetic trap
R. Chicireanu, Q. Beaufils, A. Pouderous +6
We experimentally and theoretically study the continuous accumulation of cold atoms from a magneto-optical trap (MOT) into a finite depth trap, consisting in a magnetic quadrupole…
