Title :
Cs-Cs scattering in a juggling fountain
Abstract :
Summary form only given. We juggle atoms in an atomic fountain by launching two balls of laser-cooled Cs atoms in rapid succession. The two balls collide near the top of the fountain trajectory, and we detect the velocity of the scattered atoms, giving information on the differential scattering cross section
