Experimental work on cold, trapped metastable noble gases is reviewed. The aspects which distinguish work with these atoms from the large body of work on cold, trapped atoms in general is emphasized. These aspects include detection techniques and collision processes unique to metastable atoms. Several experiments exploiting these unique features in fields including atom optics and statistical physics are described. Precision measurements on these atoms including fine structure splittings, isotope shifts, and atomic lifetimes are also discussed.

detailed close-coupling theory calculations (Leo et al., 2001), as well as with a simpler calculation (Mastwijk et al., 1998); at 1 mK K(unpol)=8:3 10 11 cm3/s which agrees with K(unpol)=8:9 10 11 cm3/s (Leo et al., 2001) and K(unpol)=7:3 10 11 cm3/s (Mastwijk et al., 1998).
1. Measurement of ionizing collisions in a MOT Since the observation of BEC, the ability to coherently outcouple atoms to form a coherent beam of matter waves, or \atom laser" (Mewes et al., 1997) has attracted much attention, in part because of its potential applications in atom interferometry. Coherent matter wave optics is reviewed in Bongs and Sengstock (2004).
>From a fundamental perspective, atom lasers can be used to study atom-atom interactions (Doring et al., 2008) as well as coherent properties (Bloch et al., 2000) of matter waves. Atomic scattering is responsible for non-linearities in atom laser formation, which can generAltman, E., E. Demler, and M. D. Lukin, 2004, Phys. Rev. A 70, 013603.

Since the observation of BEC, the ability to coherently outcouple atoms to form a coherent beam of matter waves, or \atom laser" (Mewes et al., 1997) has attracted much attention, in part because of its potential applications in atom interferometry. Coherent matter wave optics is reviewed in Bongs and Sengstock (2004).
