RESUMO
The main purpose of this work is, adopting a numerical simulation approach, to understand the laser deceleration of an atomic beam by means 0f the kown Zeeman tuning technique. Our numerical calculations are able to reproduce the fundamental features of the experimental results already obtained. We also present a simple analytical model incorporating the basic ideas contained in the hypotheses used in the simulations, and show that these ideas are consistent with the numerical and experimental conclusions. This demonstrates that the essential aspects 0f the deceleration process are well comprehended.
