Abstract
We propose a design of a source of cold thulium atoms based on a 2D magneto-optical trap and perform numerical simulation of its operation. Optimal parameters of cooling radiation and the magnetic field are determined; it is shown that for a total radiation power of 50 mW and an atomic oven temperature of 800 K, the proposed configuration can provide a flux of 4 × 108 cold atoms per second, and with an increase of the oven temperature, the flux can reach ~ 1011 atom/s. Such a source can be used for building frequency standards as well as in experiments with quantum simulators and the Bose–Einstein condensate.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics is one of the most influential physics research journals. Originally based on Russia, this international journal now welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language. It publishes original papers on fundamental theoretical and experimental research in all fields of physics: from solids and liquids to elementary particles and astrophysics.
