Title: Laser cooling and trapping of atomic particles. January 1970-September 1989 (Citations from the NTIS data base). Report for Jan 70-Sep 89

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5020472

This bibliography contains citations concerning theory and experiments on laser cooling and laser trapping of neutral atoms and atomic ions. Atoms and ions are cooled by laser radiation pressure to very low Kelvin temperatures and confined in electromagnetic traps with very high density. Atomic particles discussed include sodium atoms, mercury ions, beryllium ions, magnesium ions, and hydrogen. Applications include high performance spectroscopy, atomic clocks, microwave and optical frequency standards, relativistic neutral particle beam weapons, exotic fuels, cooling of electron beams, and space propulsion. (Contains 97 citations fully indexed and including a title list.)
