The authors review progress in understanding the nature of atomic collisions occurring at
temperatures ranging from the millidegrees Kelvin to the nanodegrees Kelvin regime. The …

In this reference we present many of the physical and optical properties of cesium that are
relevant to various quantum optics experiments. In particular, we give parameters that are …

We present an investigation of the cesium magneto-optical trap, with particular regard to the
best combination of atomic density and temperature that can be produced. Conditions in the …

Removal energies and hyperfine constants of the lowest four ns, np 1/2, and np 3/2 states in
Na, K, Rb, and Cs are calculated; removal energies of the n= 7–10 states and hyperfine …

A consistent, up-to-date description of the extremely manifold and varied experimental
techniques which nowadays enable work with neutral particles. Th book lays the physical …

The new spectroscopic technique of photoassociation of ultracold atoms is reviewed, with an
emphasis on connecting this area to traditional bound-state molecular spectroscopy. In …

The results of a new series of precision lifetime measurements on alkali atoms by means of
beam–gas–laser spectroscopy are reported and discussed. The lifetimes of the first excited …

This compilation extends the 1991 listing of atomic data by Morton to the heavier stable
elements from germanium to bismuth. Technetium, thorium, and uranium are added …

The cesium 6 2 S 1/2 scalar dipole polarizability α 0 has been determined from the time-of-
flight of laser cooled and launched cesium atoms traveling through an electric field. We find …

We provide a detailed description of our fast-beam laser lifetime measurements in atomic
cesium. Selective excitation of the neutral 133 Cs 6 p 2 P 1/2 and 6 p 2 P 3/2 states is …
