Abstract

A pulsed beam of metastable argon atoms having a low tunable velocity (10 to 150 m s^-1) is produced with a very substantial brightness (9 10⁸Ar∗ s^-1 sr^-1). The present original experimental configuration leads to a variable velocity dispersion that can be smaller than the standard Brownian one. This behaviour, analysed using Monte Carlo simulations, exhibits momentum stretching (heating) or narrowing (cooling) entirely due to a subtle combination of Doppler and Zeeman effects.
