Abstract:

We have produced and characterised a slow, bright and intense atomic beam of metastable helium atoms, suitable for atomic physics experiments. The maximum continuous flux attained was 2×1010 atoms/s, while a typical longitudinal peak velocity of the beam was ∼26 m/s with a divergence in the range of 15 mrad to 30 mrad.
