Isotope separation with MAGIS begins with an atomic beam created by heating a sample of the element in question. After the beam is collimated, a precisely tuned laser optically pumps only one particular isotope. That changes the magnetic moment, and an applied magnetic field ushers the atoms out for collection.
Abstract. We propose a general method for efficient isotope separation. The principle of operation is based on an irreversible change of the mass-to-magnetic moment ratio of a particular isotope in an effusive atomic beam, followed by magnetic guiding. We show that scalability is feasible with this method.
