Abstract

Metastable xenon is an ideal system for laser cooling, with properties very similar to those of cesium. It possesses a promising two-photon transition for a laser-cooled optical frequency standard.¹ It undergoes Penning ionization, permitting detailed studies of ultracold collisions. In addition, xenon has bosonic (even) and fermionic (odd) isotopes, which may permit observation of quantum statistical effects.
