He-McKellar-Wilkens topological phase in atom interferometry
Steven Lepoutre, Gérard Trenec, Matthias Büchner +2
We report the first experimental test of the topological phase predicted by He and McKellar and by Wilkens in 1993: this phase, which appears when an electric dipole propagates in…
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…
