Several three-grating Mach-Zehnder atomic interferometers have been built and operated in recent years but no general theory
of the contrast of the fringes produced by these apparatus is available. The purpose of this paper is to develop this theory,
based on the Fresnel-Kirchoff approximate treatment of diffraction. Such a theory has been developed by Turchette et al. [JOSA B 9, 1601 (1992)] but because the necessary multiple integrals were evaluated in a purely numerical way, this treatment was not
fully general. We show here how to reduce the computation by analytic means and we are thus able to calculate the contrast
with a modest numerical effort. Moreover, we get a simple insight of the contrast reduction related to several defects of
a real apparatus. We apply our calculations to existing interferometers as well as to an apparatus working with lithium which
is under construction in our laboratory.

We report on a calculation of K, L and M inner-shell ionization energy in atoms with atomic numbers in the range . Many-body effects are evaluated for all n
=1, 2, and 3 hole states. Those include correlation and effects due to the auto-ionizing nature of the hole states (Auger shift). For
high Z we add recent corrected nuclear polarization, and several second-order vacuum polarization corrections. K and L ionization
energies are compared with experimental X-ray absorption edges measurements. Excellent agreement with rare gazes and metal
vapor measurements is found. We also compare our calculations with X-ray transition energies for all K and L lines that involve
K, L and M holes. Finally we use K X-ray lines to deduce an hydrogenlike 1
s Lamb shift for several heavy elements, with far better accuracy than has been obtained by direct measurements of hydrogenlike
ions.

We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of the weak probe amplification in a cold and optically thick atomic
cloud that is highly driven by a strong pump laser. We find that for high optical densities the probe amplification is strongly
saturated. We compare our saturation measurements with a model based on dressed-atom population equalization due to re-scattering
of spontaneous emission. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained only when corrections due to multiple scattering
are included.

Seven low-lying triply exited states of lithium-like oxygen and neon are calculated with the multichannel saddle-point and
saddle-point complex-rotation methods. The term energies are given for these excited states, along with level shifts and partial
Auger widths from dominant decay channels. The mass polarization effect and relativistic corrections are included. The radiative
transition rates are also calculated. These results are compared with other theoretical data in the literature.

The deexcitation of excited muonic protium and deuterium in the mixture of hydrogen and helium isotopes is considered. Methods
of experimental determination of the probability of direct atomic muon capture by hydrogen and muon transfer rates from excited
muonic hydrogen to helium are proposed. Theoretical results for the population of the muonic atoms in the ground state, , are compared with the existing experimental data. Results obtained for mixtures are of interest for investigation of nuclear fusion in muonic molecules.

A theoretical study of the one- and two-photon spontaneous emission rates from the 2
s1/2 state of one-electron ions is presented. High-precision values of the relativistic emission rates for ions with nuclear charge
Z up to 100 are obtained through the use of finite basis sets for the Dirac equation constructed from B-splines. Furthermore,
we analyze the influence of the inclusion of quantum electrodynamics corrections in the initial and final state energies.

An experimental study of the dissociation of the heteronuclear Na ion by collisions with He and H2 targets at a collision energy of 2.4 keV is presented. The use of a technique based on the measurement of the velocity vectors
of the fragments allows investigating in detail the two basic dissociation mechanisms: impulsive and electronic. In the present
asymmetric case, one is able to assess the relative role of close encounters with each of the Na+ and atomic cores of the molecule. Electronic transitions at a surface crossing are proposed to explain processes which happens
in close collisions between the core and the He target.

We have constructed a magneto-optical funnel for He atoms and studied its properties using a laser cooled, highly mono-energetic
atomic beam. A simple model of its action allows us to quantitatively understand the observed spot size and “focal length”.
We show that for a fast beam, the velocity damping coefficient plays an important role in determining the focal length of
the device. The observed spot size is limited mainly by transverse heating processes which impose a transverse velocity spread.
The device also permits easy scanning of the focussed spot.

The fragmentation of anions and cations resulting from 50 keV collisions with rare gas targets is studied. Positive ion fragment
patterns are recorded, and dramatic changes in these patterns are observed as a function of target atom number. The fragment
pattern dependence on the target atom size is investigated within a simple model, normally used for stopping power calculations.
Fair agreement is obtained between calculated and experimental spectra. From these comparisons we conclude that the range
of the screened atomic potentials, as e.g., the Thomas-Fermi potential, is an essential parameter in the collisional induced fragmentation process.

We report a study of transverse laser cooling on a metastable helium beam using spectrally broadened diode lasers (“white
light") to increase its flux. For this purpose, beam profile and atomic flux versus laser power and other parameters have been characterized. We have performed experiments to compare this technique with other
transverse cooling methods using monochromatic light. Best results are obtained with a “ziz-zag" configuration using “white
light".

A three-parameter correlated wave function for the helium ground state is used to study the scattering reaction , where Ps stands for positronium atom. An exact analytical expression is constructed for the first Born scattering amplitude
for Ps formation from helium. Based on this numerical results are presented for both differential and total cross-sections.
It is demonstrated that the inner electronic correlation of the target atom plays a crucial role in explaining the discrepency
between theory and experiment.

We introduce a new simulation method, which we call the contact-distribution method, for the determination of the Helmholtz potential for polymer/colloid systems from lattice Monte-Carlo simulations. This
method allows one to obtain forces between finite or semi-infinite objects of any arbitrary shape and dimensions in the presence
of polymer chains in solution or physisorbed or chemisorbed at interfaces. We illustrate the application of the method using
two examples: (i) the interaction between the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a single, end-grafted polymer chain
and (ii) the interaction between an AFM tip and a polymer brush. Numerical results for the first two cases illustrate how
the method can be used to confirm and extend scaling laws for forces and Helmholtz potentials, to examine the effects of the
shapes and sizes of the objects and to examine conformational transitions in the polymer chains.

We study the hydrodynamic properties of polymers and more generally self-similar structures using a new recursion model. The
hydrodynamic interaction between monomers is modeled by the standard Green's function of Stokes flow in which an ultrametric
distance is substituted for the usual Euclidean distance. This leads to a model where the long-range hydrodynamic interactions
and the long-range correlations of the polymer conformation can both be accounted for and yet allow for analytical solutions.
We explore the asymptotic as well as the finite size corrections to the scaling behavior with this model. In order to compare
the results of the present scheme with more conventional techniques a generalized version of the existing mean field results
by Kirkwood and Riseman for the hydrodynamic drag is introduced.

We report on a theoretical and experimental investigation of 39K magneto-optical trapping. The small hyperfine splitting characterizing the upper level of the cooling transition affects
the cooling mechanism. In order to model the atom-laser interaction, the whole level structure of the D2 line has to be taken into account. Two different regimes have been recognized, one optimizing the loading of the trap, the
second minimizing the temperature of the atoms. We investigated these two regimes experimentally and found results in agreement
with the theoretical predictions.

We study the influence of the laser polarization on the electron impact excitation of atomic hydrogen. Our method takes into
account the “dressing” of the target states by including the laser-atom interaction to first order time-dependent perturbation
theory, while the interaction of the laser field with the incident electron is treated to all orders by using the non relativist
Volkov function. The interaction of the fast projectile with the target atom is treated in the first Born approximation. The
calculations are performed via two distinct computations. The first one is based on a direct calculation, the second based on a Sturmian approach. Important
differences appear between the angular distributions depending on the polarization chosen.

The dressing of atomic states in a strong laser field modifies the structure of the incoherently scattered fraction of the laser intensity, which is described to a good approximation by the Mollow spectrum. The incoherent spectrum is generated by the fluctuations of the atomic dipole moment about its expectation value, and the positions of the peaks are approximately given by the energy differences between the dressed atomic energy levels. In this paper, we investigate radiative corrections received by the dressed states. Our calculations are motivated by the quest to understand in detail the interplay of a bound electron dressed by the highly populated laser mode and its interaction with the vacuum modes. Alternatively, this may be seen as an electron experiencing modified stimulated and spontaneous radiative corrections in a vacuum tailored by the laser field. We obtain dressed self-energy shifts that depend on the Rabi flopping frequency (and in turn on the laser intensity) and on the detuning of the laser field relative to the atomic resonance frequency. We find that the dressed radiative corrections differ in a nontrivial manner from the radiative shifts of the ‘bare’ atomic states. 相似文献

We report the observation of resonances in the intensity correlation spectra of a 3D rubidium optical lattice, which we attribute
to light scattering from propagating atomic density fluctuations in the lattice. This process is the spontaneous analog of
the stimulated scattering mechanism recently described by Courtois et al.. We investigate the dependence of the new resonances on the lattice angle and show that they disappear for large angles,
thus resolving previous discrepancies on the subject.

We considered the kaon absorption from atomic states into the nucleus. We found that the nuclear density probed by the atomic
kaon significantly depends on the kaon orbit. Then, we re-examined the meanings of the observed strengths of one-body and
two-body kaon absorption, and investigated the effects to the formation spectra of kaon bound states by in-flight (K
-, p) reactions. As a natural consequence, if the atomic kaon probes a smaller nuclear density, the ratio of the two-body absorption
at nuclear center is larger than the observed value in kaonic atoms, and the depth of the imaginary potential is deeper even
at smaller kaon energies as in kaonic nuclear states because of the large phase space for the two-body processes. This deeper
imaginary potential makes the signals of kaonic nucleus formation more unclear in the (K
-, p) spectra. 相似文献

The mechanical Stern-Gerlach effect is investigated in the case of a slow atomic cloud falling through an inhomogeneous magnetic
field featuring a strong longitudinal gradient. The resulting Zeeman sublevel state selection is demonstrated under various
experimental conditions. Longitudinal spatial separations are in agreement with numerical simulations that take into account
the gravitational acceleration and both the transverse and axial magnetic forces. Since separations greater than 20 cm are
obtained, potential applications in atom optics are outlined.
