Building a Potassium MOT
نویسنده
چکیده
A magneto-optical trap (MOT) was developed in order to cool and trap potassium atoms. This required construction of a mechanism for tuning and locking the frequency of a trap and repump laser in order to maintain the correct energy transitions needed to ensure trapping of the atoms. Once the lasers’ frequencies were locked, the beams were combined and amplified and can now be combined with lasers from a similar system for Rb after which the light will be passed into a vacuum chamber where a two species MOT can be achieved.

Usability Inspection by Metaphors of Human Thinking Compared to Heuristic Evaluation
Anew usability inspection technique based on metaphors of human thinking has been experimentally compared to heuristic evaluation (HE). The aim of metaphors of thinking (MOT) is to focus inspection on users’ mental activity and to make inspection easily applicable to different devices and use contexts. Building on classical introspective psychology, MOT bases inspection on metaphors of habit fo...
متن کاملQuantum Degeneracy in an Atomic Fermi-Fermi-Bose Mixture
This thesis deals with dilute fermionic and bosonic quantum gases in the nK temperature regime. In the work presented here, the first quantum-degenerate mixture of two different fermionic atomic species and the first triple-degenerate Fermi-Fermi-Bose mixture were produced. The quantum-degenerate mixtures were realized using sympathetic cooling of the fermionic species 6Li and 40K by an evapora...

The factor transducer of a word associates to each of its factors (or subwc~rds) their first occurrence. Optimal bounds on the size of minimal factor transducers together with an algorithm for building them are given. Analogue results and a simple algorithm are given for the case of subsequential suffix transducers. Algorithms are applied to repetition searching in words. Rl~sum~. Le transducte...
متن کاملNeuroTracker Three-Dimensional Multiple Object Tracking (3D-MOT): A Tool to Improve Concentration and Game Performance among Basketball Athletes
Background. Basketball is a dynamic sport where athletes are expected to observe the fast movements of team players and opponents in a performance. This condition requires a collective focus on the stipulated tasks, to achieve peak performance. Besides, training is frequently performed to improve concentration and athlete performance. This instigates the need for technology-based methods, inclu...
متن کاملDirected Acyclic Subsequence Graph for multiple texts
The subsequence matching problem is to decide, for given strings S and T , whether S is a subsequence of T. The string S is called pattern and the string T text. We consider the case of multiple texts and show how to solve the subsequence matching problem in time linear in the length of pattern. For this purpose we build the automaton that accepts all subsequences of given texts. The automaton ...
