Trapping fermionic and bosonic helium atoms

R. J. W. Stas

This thesis presents experimental and theoretical work performed at the Laser Centre of the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam to study laser-cooled metastable triplet helium atoms. Samples containing about 3x10^8 helium atoms-either fermionic helium-3 atoms, bosonic helium-4 atoms or mixtures thereof-are cooled to a temperature around 1 mK and form the starting point of the presented studies. The studies include an investigation of cold ionizing collisions in the absence of resonant light, an investigation of magneto-optical trapping with ultraviolet light, a feasibility study of an atomic fountain clock based on metastable helium-3 atoms and the first demonstration of magneto-optical trapping of an isotopic mixture of metastable helium atoms.
