Zeeman slowing of a group-III atom by Xianquan Yu, Jinchao Mo, Tiangao Lu, Ting You Tan, Travis L. Nicholson

“…Despite the fact that our atom of choice (namely indium) does not have a ground state cycling transition suitable for laser cooling, slowing is achieved by driving the transition |5P_{3/2},F=6〉→|5D_{5/2},F=7〉, where the lower-energy state is metastable. …”
