title: Temperature-selective trapping of atoms in a dark state by means of quantum interference.
abstract: We present a novel type of dark spontaneous-force optical trap. The trap is based on a velocity-selective inhibition of repumping light absorption produced by electromagnetically induced transparency. Accumulation of cold cesium atoms in a dark state is observed.
