Ultra-high vacuum pressure measurement using cold atoms

Atomic Physics 2023-03-01 v1

Abstract

In this work, we have measured the background pressure in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber by measuring the collisional loss rates in a Rb atom magneto-optical trap (MOT) on an atom chip. The loss rate due to non-Rb gases in the background has been estimated by measuring the MOT loss rate in low Rb pressure regime. These results can be useful for development of cold-atoms based UHV pressure standards.
