46. The minimum of the U-trap is displaced from the central point of the bar, in a direction opposite to the bent wire leads. A more symmetric quadrupole can be created by using 3 wires in a H configuration. There the side-guide is closed by the two parallel wires crossing the central wire orthogonally. The trap is then in between the two wires, along the side guide wire

53. The atoms are loaded into the MOT for 20 s out of an effusive beam at a red laser detuning of 25 MHz and a total laser power of about 150 mW. An electro-optic modulator produces sidebands of 812 MHz (30%) one of which is used as a repumper. To increase the loading rate we use an additional slower beam (20 mW, 100 MHz red detuned) directed through the MOT into the oven. The MOT is typically 1 mm in diameter (FWHM) and has a temperature of T ∼ 200 μK which corresponds to a velocity of about 0.5 m/s. For a detailed description see [19, 20]
