Abstract
We report the demonstration of a quasi-one-dimensional Stern-Gerlach effect on a supersonic beam of lithium-7 atoms. This method combines a pulsed magnetic field gradient plus a strong bias field to create a quasi-one-dimensional force. We discuss the application of this technique to a cooling method and earth-based microgravity experiments.
