Description
An experimental setup for laser cooling and trapping of neutral rubidium atoms is being developed. A three dimensional optical molasses in a Maxwell gradient magnetic field is used. The effects of the trap parameters on the number of trapped atoms will be investigated. The current status and recent results are presented.
