Damping rates of the atomic velocity in Sisyphus cooling

Description : We present a theoretical and experimental study of the damping process ofthe atomic velocity in Sisyphus cooling. The relaxation rates of the atomickinetic temperature are determined for a 3D lin$\perp$lin optical lattice.We find that the damping rates of the atomic temperature depend linearly onthe...
