    Fast and dense magneto-optical traps for Strontium

    We improve the efficiency of sawtooth-wave-adiabatic-passage (SWAP) cooling for strontium atoms in three dimensions and combine it with standard narrow-line laser cooling. With this technique, we create strontium magneto-optical traps with 6×1076\times 10^7 bosonic 88^{88}Sr (1×1071\times 10^7 fermionic 87^{87}Sr) atoms at phase-space densities of 2×10−32\times 10^{-3} (1.4×10−41.4\times 10^{-4}). Our method is simple to implement and is faster and more robust than traditional cooling methods.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

    Rapidity-dependence of jet shape broadening and quenching

    Full text link
    The jet shape modification due to partonic energy loss in the dense QCD matter is investigated by the help of the special transverse energy-energy correlator in the vicinity of maximum energy deposition of every event. In the accepted scenario with scattering of jet hard partons off comoving medium constituents this correlator is independent of the pseudorapidity position of a jet axis and becomes considerably broader (symmetrically over the pseudorapidity and the azimuthal angle) in comparison with pppp-collisions. At scattering off "slow" medium constituents the broadening of correlation functions is dependent on the pseudorapidity position of a jet axis and increases noticeably in comparison with the previous scenario for jets with large enough pseudorapidities. These two considered scenarios result also in the different dependence of jet quenching on the pseudorapidity.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, RevTex4, typos corrected, accepted for publication in Phys.
