Description
Preliminary results on the deflection of a beam of ultra cold atoms by a static magnetic field are reported. Caesium atoms trapped in a magneto-optical trap are cooled using optical molasses, and then fall freely under gravity to form a beam of ultra-cold atoms. The atoms pass through a static inhomogeneous magnetic field produced by a single current-carrying wire, and are deflected by a force dependent on-the magnetic substate of the atom. The population of atoms in various magnetic substates can be altered by using resonant laser radiation to optically pump the atoms. 16 refs., 10 figs
