Abstract
We investigate the interaction of a standing-wave light field with the beam of two-level atoms moving in the Bragg regime. The atomic beam consists of two different isotopes and the density is sufficiently small so that at most one atom is inside the cavity at any time. The experimental setup is such that both the isotopes have the same momenta. The momentum transfer between the atoms and photons in the process essentially effects the center-of-mass motion of the atoms, thus separating the isotopes in different directions after specific interaction times.
