Bidirectional propagation of cold atoms in a "stadium" shaped magnetic guide
Saijun Wu, Wilbert Rooijakkers, Pierre Striehl +1
We demonstrate the bi-directional propagation of more than 10 7 atoms (87 Rb) around a "stadium" shaped magnetic ring that encloses an area of 10.9 cm 2, with a flux density exceed…

Observation of Caustics in the Trajectories of Cold Atoms in a Linear Magnetic Potential
Wilbert Rooijakkers, Saijun Wu, Pierre Striehl +2
We have studied the spatial and temporal dynamics of a cold atom cloud in the conservative force field of a ferromagnetic guide, after laser cooling has been switched off suddenly.…
