Averaging out magnetic forces with fast rf-sweeps in an optical trap for metastable chromium atoms
Q. Beaufils, R. Chicireanu, A. Pouderous +6
We introduce a novel type of time-averaged trap, in which the internal state of the atoms is rapidly modulated to modify magnetic trapping potentials. In our experiment, fast radio…
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…
Simultaneous Magneto-Optical Trapping of Bosonic and Fermionic Chromium Atoms
R. Chicireanu, A. Pouderous, R. Barbe +5
We report on magneto-optical trapping of fermionic 53Cr atoms. A Zeeman-slowed atomic beam provides loading rates up to 3 10^6 /s. We present systematic characterization of the mag…
