A large magneto-optical trap of cadmium atoms loaded from a cryogenic buffer gas beam
J. E. Padilla-Castillo, S. Hofsäss, L. Palánki +7
We demonstrate rapid loading of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of cadmium atoms from a pulsed cryogenic helium buffer gas beam, overcoming strong photoionization losses. Using the $…
