    "abstract": "We employ laser cooling to intensify and cool an atomic beam of metastable\nNe(3s) atoms. Using several collimators, a slower and a compressor we achieve a\n^{20}Ne^* flux of 6 10^{10} atoms/s in an 0.7 mm diameter beam traveling at 100\nm/s, and having longitudinal and transverse temperatures of 25mK and 300microK,\nrespectively. This constitutes the highest flux in a concentrated beam achieved\nto date with metastable rare gas atoms. We characterize the action of the\nvarious cooling stages in terms of their influence on the flux, diameter and\ndivergence of the atomic beam. The brightness and brilliance achieved are 2.1\n10^{21} s^{-1} m^{-2} sr^{-1} and 5.0 10^{22} s^{-1} m^{-2} sr^{-1},\nrespectively, comparable to the highest values reported for alkali-metal beams.\nBright beams of the ^{21}Ne and ^{22}Ne isotopes have also been created.",
