General methods of controlling atomic motion : experiments with supersonic beams as a source of cold atoms

This dissertation discusses several recently developed experimental techniques for controlling the motion of neutral atoms. While laser cooling and evaporative cooling have been extremely successful and have been in widespread use for many years, these techniques are only applicable to a few atomic...
