摘要：

We present a study of adiabatic following and optical pumping effects in the process of slowing sodium atoms with the Zeeman tuning technique. By manipulating the magnetic-field profile, atoms can be decelerated to a low magnetic field, where they are decoupled from the laser beam by being optically pumped to the F = 1 ground-state sublevel. Using this method, we have produced an intense flux of slow atoms, with a well-controlled velocity of approximately 10(10) atoms/sec.
