Phys. Rev. A 61, 033412 (2000) [5 pages]Simulation of the hyperfine-resolved Zeeman spectrum of Eu atoms in a magnetic trapReceived 29 September 1999; published 15 February 2000 We present a simulation of the laser absorption spectra of Eu atoms in the a8S7/2-y8P7/2 band at 462.7 nm measured previously in a buffer-gas-loaded magnetic trap [J. Kim et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 3665 (1997)]. The simulations of the hyperfine-resolved Zeeman spectra are based on exact magnetic eigenproperties of the states involved, and yield a complete assignment of all the features observed. This reveals that apart from the MJ=7/2 state and its hyperfine substates, the MJ=5/2 and 3/2 states are also trapped at Bmax=0.52 T and a temperature of about 250 mK. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
