Production of cold bromine atoms at zero mean velocity by photodissociation.

The production of a translationally cold (T < 1 K) sample of bromine atoms with estimated densities of up to 10(8) cm(-3) using photodissociation is presented. A molecular beam of Br(2) seeded in Kr is photodissociated into Br + Br* fragments, and the velocity distribution of the atomic fragm...
