Cold atom source characterisation from a 2D Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT)

Abstract

Measuring an incoming cold-atomic beam produced by a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap(MOT) using fluorescence spectroscopy and time-of-flight to probe the atomic beam characteristics. The datasets are split into two folders: raw data from the experiment and processed data used to produce the plots for publication (https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2607.09604), where the experiment is described, and the data-processing methodology is detailed in Appendix B of the publication.
