Dispersion management using betatron resonances in an ultracold-atom storage ring.

Particles circulating at specific velocities in a storage ring can undergo betatron resonances at which static perturbations of the particles' orbit yield large transverse (betatron) oscillations. We have observed betatron resonances in an ultracold-atom storage ring and found these resonances to cause the near-elimination of the longitudinal dispersion of atomic beams propagating at resonant velocities. This effect can improve atom-interferometric devices. Both the resonant velocities and the resonance strengths were varied by deliberate modifications to the storage ring.

Bose-Einstein condensation in a circular waveguide.

We have produced Bose-Einstein condensates in a ring-shaped magnetic waveguide. The few-millimeter diameter, nonzero-bias ring is formed from a time-averaged quadrupole ring. Condensates that propagate around the ring make several revolutions within the time it takes for them to expand to fill the ring. The ring shape is ideally suited for studies of vorticity in a multiply connected geometry and is promising as a rotation sensor.
