Atom interferometry and its applications
Sven Abend, Matthias Gersemann, Christian Schubert +7
We provide an introduction into the field of atom optics and review our work on interferometry with cold atoms, and in particular with Bose-Einstein condensates. Here we emphasize…
Measurement of charge-exchange between Na and \ce{Ca+} in a hybrid trap
J. M. Kwolek, D. S. Goodman, B. Slayton +4
We present measurements of the charge-exchange reaction rate between neutral sodium (Na) and ionized calcium (\ce{Ca+}) in a hybrid atom-ion trap, which is comprised of a Na magnet…
Model-independent measurements of the sodium magneto-optical trap's excited-state population
J. M. Kwolek, D. S. Goodman, S. A. Entner +3
We present model-independent measurements of the excited-state population of atoms in a sodium (Na) magneto-optical trap (MOT) using a hybrid ion-neutral trap composed of a MOT and…
Measurement of low-energy Na^+ -- Na total collision rate in an ion--neutral hybrid trap
D. S. Goodman, J. E. Wells, J. M. Kwolek +3
We present measurements of the total elastic and resonant charge-exchange ion-atom collision rate coefficient of cold sodium (\ce{Na}) with optically-dark low energ…
Off-resonance energy absorption in a linear Paul trap due to mass selective resonant quenching
I. Sivarajah, D. S. Goodman, J. E. Wells +2
Linear Paul r.f. ion traps (LPT) are used in many experimental studies such as mass spectrometry, atom-ion collisions and ion-molecule reactions. Mass selective resonant quenching…
Evidence of sympathetic cooling of Na+ ions by a Na MOT in a hybrid trap
I. Sivarajah, D. S. Goodman, J. E. Wells +2
A hybrid ion-neutral trap provides an ideal system to study collisional dynamics between ions and neutrals. This system provides a general cooling method that can be applied to opt…
