Abstract—The process of Zeeman laser cooling of ⁸⁵Rb atoms in a new scheme employing a transverse mag-
netic field has been experimentally studied. Upon cooling, the average velocity of atoms was 12 m/s at abeam
intensity of 7.2 10¹² s^–1 and an atomic density of 4.7 10¹⁰ cm^–3. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.
