Monte-Carlo simulations of the capture and cooling of alkali-metal atoms by a supersonic helium jet

Jeremy Glick, William Huntington, Michael Borysow +4

We present three-dimensional Monte-Carlo simulations of the capture of 1000 K ${}^7$Li or 500 K ${}^{87}$Rb atoms by a continuous supersonic ${}^4$He jet and show that intense alkali-met…
