21. A direct coupling through a viewport must be avoided because the atomic chromium beam would rapidly coat it; J. McClelland and T. Pfau (private communications).

23. Cold Cr50, Cr52, and Cr53 atoms, at temperatures as low as 10 mK, were also obtained by J. D. Weinstein, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.65.021604 65, 021604 (R) (2002). The atoms were magnetically trapped, after being sympathetically cooled by a cryogenic helium buffer gas.
24. A few years ago, Pfau and co-workers made preliminary observations of a Cr53 atom magneto-optical trap [T. Pfau (private communication) and].
