Abstract
A simple nozzle design for a free-jet atomic beam source is described. The design is compact (< 20 mm) and uses commercially available parts with only minor modification. Characterization of the source with a h elium beam and time-of-flight detector showed that a velocity spread o f less than 1% is readily obtained.
