Abstract
By using direct event-counting with atom-number feedback we investigated the loading rate of a magneto-optical trap as a function of the magnetic field gradient. We also studied the one- and two-atom loss rates as functions of trap laser intensity. All measurements were performed with a precisely prepared initial number of atoms.
