Suppression of collisional loss from a magnetic trap
Caesium atoms in a magnetic trap have a higher loss rate from latin-trap collisions than rubidium under comparable conditions. We have found that this loss from inelastic collisions can be suppressed by periodic optical pumping of the atoms back into the most strongly trapped magnetic state (F = 4,...
