Asymptotic speed ratio in a free helium jet

Ludwig W. Bruch, Ar. Abanov

Abstract

The spatial dependence of the speed ratio in an atomic helium free jet is approximated for low internal temperatures where effective-range theory becomes accurate for the atom–atom scattering.

Theoretical and experimental study of He free-jet expansions

L. Pedemonte, G. Bracco, R. Tatarek

The paper reports on calculations of the flow properties in low-temperature He free-jet expansions by means of the Lennard-Jones potential and the recently appearing He-He van der Waals potential based on perturbation theory. The calculated speed ratios are compared with both the values we measured in the 20--80 K source temperature range and data which were already reported. The comparison points out a better agreement of our experimental results with the speed ratio values obtained by the recent potential whenever the parallel temperature of the beam decreases below ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}2} \mathrm{K}.$ In the same temperature range the light He-cluster size is analyzed.

Low energy elastic scattering of hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium on helium isotopes

B. J. P. Jones, A. Negi, Aleksei Semakin

Abstract Motivated by the needs of atomic tritium sources for neutrino mass experiments and Doppler-free two-photon 1 S–2 S spectroscopy in atomic deuterium and tritium, we present calculations of energy-dependent elastic scattering cross sections of hydrogen isotopes (H, D, and T) on helium isotopes ( 3 He and 4 He) in the temperature range 1 mK to 300 K. The tritium-on-helium cross sections are found to be enhanced over their hydrogen-on-helium counterparts by a near-threshold resonant s -wave bound state at low energy, similar to one that has been predicted in the triplet T–T system. While the energy-dependent cross sections span a wide range at low energy due to this s -wave enhancement, they tend toward a common value at high energy where the scattering becomes effectively geometric in nature.

A simple nozzle design for high speed-ratio molecular beams

A simple nozzle design for a free-jet atomic beam source is described. The design is compact (< 20 mm) and uses commercially available parts with only minor modification. Characterization of the source with a helium beam and time-of-flight detector showed that a velocity spread of less than 1% is readily obtained.
