Large atom number Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium
K. M. R. van der Stam, E. D. van Ooijen, R. Meppelink +2
We describe the setup to create a large Bose-Einstein condensate containing more than 120x10^6 atoms. In the experiment a thermal beam is slowed by a Zeeman slower and captured in…

Spin-Polarizing Cold Sodium Atoms in a Strong Magnetic Field
K. M. R. van der Stam, A. Kuijk, R. Meppelink +2
The efficiency of evaporative cooling, which is used for the creation of a Bose Einstein condensate, depends strongly on the number of particles at the start of the evaporation. A…
