Description

Full text: We present the results of experiments on a compact He* MOT experiment and 'Low Velocity Intense Source' (LVIS) of metastable helium atoms. Our system produces up to 7 x 109 He* atoms/sec at a velocity of - 30 m/s, making it the coldest continuous beam of metastable He atoms ever reported. The beam is ideal for loading metastable helium atoms into magnetic guides and traps, or delivering a high density beam to electron scattering experiments.
