A velocity characterized atomic hydrogen beam
POSTER
Abstract
We present a cryogenic and velocity-characterized ground state (1S) and metastable (2S) atomic hydrogen source. We also present possibilities to manipulate the atomic trajectories through the 1S-2S two-photon transition. For example, the two-photon transition can be used for laser cooling, or the trajectories of metastable 2S atoms can be affected with near-resonant visible wavelength lasers.
