Influence of a static magnetic field on the detected atomic velocity distribution in an optically pumped cesium beam frequency standard.
Irregularities of the microwave Ramsey patterns in an optically pumped cesium atomic beam frequency standards with a sharp angle incidence detecting laser beam have been diagnosed. They arise from a separated two-peak detected velocity distribution, which is caused by static magnetic fields. Experimentally measured results and theoretical analysis of this phenomenon are presented in this paper.
