Theoretical analysis of angular momentum changes from laser scattering in trapped atomic particles, highlighting conservation principles.
In axially symmetric atomic-particle traps, the angular momentum of the particles about the symmetry axis is conserved in the absence of external torques. Changes in this angular momentum owing to laser scattering are discussed.
