title: Heating and phase-space decompression of evanescent-wave cooled atoms by multiple photon reabsorption.
abstract: We show that multiple reabsorption of resonance-frequency photons in a cloud of evanescent-wave cooled atoms can have a significant influence on the cooling efficiency and maximum value of the atomic phase-space density.
