The BMV experiment : a novel apparatus to study the propagation of light in a transverse magnetic field
Remy Battesti, Benoit Pinto Da Souza, Sebastien Batut +11
In this paper, we describe in detail the BMV (Biréfringence Magnétique du Vide) experiment, a novel apparatus to study the propagation of light in a transverse magnetic field. It i…
First measurements of the index of refraction of gases for lithium atomic waves
Marion Jacquey, Matthias Büchner, Gérard Trénec +1
We report here the first measurements of the index of refraction of gases for lithium waves. Using an atom interferometer, we have measured the real and imaginary part of the index…
Parallel Temperatures in Supersonic Beams: Ultra Cooling of Light Atoms seeded in a Heavier Carrier Gas
Alain Miffre, Marion Jacquey, Matthias Buchner +2
We have found recently that, in a supersonic expansion of a mixture of two monoatomic gases, the parallel temperatures of the two gases can be very different. This effect is large…
Anomalous cooling of the parallel velocity in seeded beams
A. Miffre, M. Jacquey, M. Buchner +2
We have measured the parallel velocity distribution of a lithium supersonic beam produced by seeding lithium in argon. The parallel temperature for lithium is considerably lower th…
