Description
We report a magneto-optical trap (MOT) to produce a cold francium source. Since francium has no stable isotope and its production is limited, a high-efficiency trap is needed. We have succeeded in rubidium MOT and optimized trap parameters to maximize the number of capture atoms using rubidium.
