Quasi-2D Confinement of a BEC in a Combined Optical and Magnetic Potential
N. L. Smith, W. H. Heathcote, G. Hechenblaikner +2
We have added an optical potential to a conventional Time-averaged Orbiting Potential (TOP) trap to create a highly anisotropic hybrid trap for ultracold atoms. Axial confinement i…

Experimental observation of the 'Tilting Mode' of an array of vortices in a dilute Bose-Einstein Condensate
N. L. Smith, W. H. Heathcote, J. M. Krueger +1
We have measured the precession frequency of a vortex lattice in a Bose-Einstein condensate of 87Rb atoms. The observed mode corresponds to a collective motion in which all the vor…
