An Atom Trap Relying on Optical Pumping
P. Bouyer, P. Lemonde, M. Ben Dahan +3
We have investigated a new radiation pressure trap which relies on optical pumping and does not require any magnetic field. It employs six circularly polarized divergent beams and…
A Mission to Explore the Pioneer Anomaly
The Pioneer Explorer Collaboration, H. Dittus, S. G. Turyshev +37
The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft yielded the most precise navigation in deep space to date. These spacecraft had exceptional acceleration sensitivity. However, analysis of their ra…
Observation of deviations from ideal gas thermodynamics in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensed gas
Fabrice Gerbier, Joseph H. Thywissen, Simon Richard +3
We have investigated experimentally the finite-temperature properties of a Bose-Einstein condensed cloud of Rb atoms in a harmonic trap. Focusing primarily on condensed frac…
RF-induced evaporative cooling and BEC in a high magnetic field
P. Bouyer, V. Boyer, S. G. Murdoch +4
We present the design of our iron-core electromagnet for BEC, and how to solve the specific experimental problems raised by this technique. After presenting the experimental set-up…
