磁阱中的Majorana自旋翻转跃迁

Majorana spin-flip transitions in a magnetic trap

D. M. Brink, C. V. Sukumar

摘要:

由于绝热近似的破坏,被束缚在磁阱中的原子可以通过自旋翻转的Majorana跃迁逃逸。有几篇论文研究了自旋为$F = 1/2$或$F= 1$的原子的这一过程。本文计算了自旋为$F > 1$的原子的逃逸率。这个问题有新的特点,因为微扰$ΔT$,使原子逃逸满足选择规则$ΔF_z = 0, \pm 1, \pm 2$和多步过程中的领先秩序的贡献。当绝热近似满足时,首阶项可以求和以得到逃逸率的简单表达式。

英文摘要:

Atoms confined in a magnetic trap can escape by making spin-flip Majorana transitions due to a breakdown of the adiabatic approximation. Several papers have studied this process for atoms with spin $F = 1/2$ or $F= 1$. The present paper calculates the escape rate for atoms with spin $F > 1$. This problem has new features because the perturbation $ΔT$ which allows atoms to escape satisfies a selection rule $ΔF_z = 0, \pm 1, \pm 2$ and multi-step processes contribute in leading order. When the adiabatic approximation is satisfied the leading order terms can be summed to yield a simple expression for the escape rate.
