FIG. 24

Cold atom beam source based on a slow atom beam from a 2D+-MOT. Atoms are trapped in a 2D-MOT from a vapor and formed into a slow beam with a pusher beam. The beam is transversely cooled and compressed in a magneto-optical compressor, further cooled in a optical molasses stage, and ionized in a crossed-beam arrangement. (from Ref. 170).
