Abstract

We have realized a magnetic guide for ultracold chromium atoms by continuously loading atoms directly from a Zeeman slower into a horizontal guide. We observe an atomic flux of 2 · 107 atoms/s and are able to control the mean velocity of the guided atoms between 0 m/s and 3 m/s. We present our experimental results on loading and controlling the mean velocity of the guided atoms and discuss the experimental techniques that are used.
