Quantum reflection traps — •Javier Madronero, Alexander Jurisch, and Harald Friedrich — Physik Department, Technische Universität München, 85747 Garching b. München

First estimates of survival times for atoms in a quantum reflection trap are based on simple one-dimensional sharp step potential models [1]. We investigate a more realistic description for higher-dimensional traps, in particular with regard to the atom-surface potential for nontrivial geometries.
