We have succeeded in magneto-optical trapping of Yb atoms decelerated by a Zeeman slower method. The number of the trapped atoms is more than about 1.3x10(6) measured by light absorption. We have found the evidence of the branching from the P-1(1)...

Optical magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) is performed to observe a density distribution of the laser-polarized Cs atoms that diffuse in helium buffer gas at roughly room temperature. Spatial resolution of optical MRI and sensitivity of optical det...
