Studies of Magneto-Optically and Magnetostatically Trapped Cesium in a Cryogenic Vacuum Apparatus

The use of a cryogenic apparatus has several advantages for the magneto-optical and magnetostatic trapping of atoms. We have measured the lifetimes of magneto-optical and magnetostatic traps for cesium to be greatly increased in a cryogenic vacuum environment relative to a room-t...
