Abstract

Cooling by evaporation occurs by the preferential removal of high energy particles followed by rethermalization of the remaining gas.

Evaporation in atomic traps: A simple approach

E. A. L. Henn, Jorge Amin Seman, E. R. F. Ramos +3 more

We present a simple model to describe evaporative cooling of ultracold trapped atoms. The cooling is used to achieve low temperatures of the gaseous sample by removing the most energetic atoms and subsequently rethermalizing the remaining atoms at a lower temperature. The model assumes a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of energies and allows the calculation of the temperature and the number of remaining atoms after the most energetic atoms have been removed and rethermalization has taken place.

Collisionless motion and evaporative cooling of atoms in magnetic traps

E.L. Surkov, Jook T. M. Walraven, Georgy V. Shlyapnikov

We analyze the collisionless motion of atoms in magnetic traps in relation to evaporative cooling. For the example of a long Ioffe quadrupole trap we investigate both the regular and stochastic regimes of motion. We emphasize a strong influence of the regime of collisionless motion on the process of evaporative cooling. For evaporation of atoms across an axial potential barrier the stochastic motion of atoms at energies above the barrier enables three-dimensional evaporation, i.e., particles acquiring in elastic collisions a total enery higher than the barrier height ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$ escape from the trap. The regular motion leads to axial evaporation: only atoms which due to collisions acquire an axial energy higher than ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$ leave the trap. The rate of axial evaporation is smaller by a factor \ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\eta}=${\mathit{E}}_{0}$/T\ensuremath{\gg}1, where T is the gas temperature. This has important consequences for evaporative cooling, which we discuss in relation to trapped atomic hydrogen. \textcopyright{}1996 The American Physical Society.

For evaporation of atoms across an axial potential barrier the stochastic motion of atoms at energies above the barrier enables three-dimensional evaporation, i.e., particles acquiring in elastic collisions a total enery higher than the barrier height E0{\mathit{E}}_{0}E0​ escape from the trap. The regular motion leads to axial evaporation: only atoms which due to collisions acquire an axial energy higher than E0{\mathit{E}}_{0}E0​ leave the trap. The rate of axial evaporation is smaller by a factor \ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\eta}=E0{\mathit{E}}_{0}E0​/T\ensuremath{\gg}1, where T is the gas temperature.
