摘要
The radiative capture of cesium atoms from the gas phase in a magnetooptic trap with strong magnetic field gradients is studied. A simplified analytic model is used to derive an upper limit for capture velocities. The resulting scaling law agrees well with the observed number of atoms and with the density as a function of field gradient.
