Description:
Author(s): Michael Keller, Mateusz Kotyrba, Florian Leupold, Mandip Singh, Maximilian Ebner, and Anton Zeilinger We report on the realization of Bose-Einstein condensation of metastable helium-4. After exciting helium to its metastable state in a novel pulse-tube cryostat source, the atomic beam is collimated and slowed. We then trap several 10 8 atoms in a magneto-optical trap. For subsequent evaporative cooli... [Phys. Rev. A 90, 063607] Published Mon Dec 01, 2014
