Rydberg excitation of a Bose-Einstein condensate
M. Viteau, M. Bason, J. Radogostowicz +4
We have performed two-photon excitation via the 6P3/2 state to n=50-80 S or D Rydberg state in Bose-Einstein condensates of rubidium atoms. The Rydberg excitation was performed in…
Comparison between two mobile absolute gravimeters: optical versus atomic interferometers
S. Merlet, Q. Bodart, N. Malossi +4
We report a comparison between two absolute gravimeters: the LNE-SYRTE cold atoms gravimeter and FG5#220 of Leibniz Universität of Hannover. They rely on different principles of op…
A cold atom pyramidal gravimeter with a single laser beam
Quentin Bodart, Sébastien Merlet, Nicola Malossi +3
We demonstrate a scheme for realizing a compact cold atom gravimeter. The use of a hollow pyramidal configuration allows to achieve all functions: trapping, interferometer and dete…
Double diffraction in an atomic gravimeter
Nicola Malossi, Quentin Bodart, Sébastien Merlet +3
We demonstrate the realization of a new scheme for cold atom gravimetry based on the use of double diffraction beamsplitters recently demonstrated in \cite{Leveque}, where the use…
Measurement of the Spin-forbidden Decay rate (3s3d)D (3s3p)P in Mg
K. T. Therkildsen, B. B. Jensen, C. P. Ryder +2
We have measured the spin-forbidden decay rate from (3s3d)D (3s3p)P in Mg atoms trapped in a magneto-optical trap. The total decay rate, summ…
