    A stored-muon-beam neutrino factory may require transverse ionization cooling of the muon beam. We describe recent progress in research and development on energy absorbers for muon-beam cooling carried out by a collaboration of university and laboratory groups.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Neutrino Factory Based on Muon Storage Rings (NuFACT'01), May 24-30, 2001, Tsukuba, Japa

    Squeezing of Atoms in a Pulsed Optical Lattice

    Full text link
    We study the process of squeezing of an ensemble of cold atoms in a pulsed optical lattice. The problem is treated both classically and quantum-mechanically under various thermal conditions. We show that a dramatic compression of the atomic density near the minima of the optical potential can be achieved with a proper pulsing of the lattice. Several strategies leading to the enhanced atomic squeezing are suggested, compared and optimized.Comment: Latex, 9 pages, 10 figures, submitted to PR
