Design of a Permanent Magnet Zeeman Slower

POSTER

Abstract

We present a new design for a permanent magnet Zeeman slower for loading magneto-optical traps in laser cooling experiments. In addition to eliminating the need for a power source, the simple design facilitates vacuum chamber baking and construction. We compare experimental results with numerical simulations.
