Abstract
We present a design of a spin-flip Zeeman slower controlled by a fast feedback circuit for a sodium Bose-Einstein condensate apparatus. We also demonstrate how the efficiency of the slower strongly depends on its intrinsic parameters, and compare these observations with a few theoretical models. Our findings lead to a simple three-step procedure of designing an optimal Zeeman slower for neutral atoms, especially for those atomic species with high initial velocities, such as sodium and lithium atoms.
