Abstract
The compression of caesium in an atomic funnel is dominated by the tra
nsient regime in which the trapping force is strongly dependent on the
initial atomic state. We increased the efficiency by Zeeman pumping o
r initially orientating the atoms with the local magnetic field. The c
ompressed atomic beam was 200 mu m in diameter with a density of 3 X 1
0(9) atoms cm(-3).
