    "abstract": "We report the observation of transient velocity-selective coherent population\ntrapping (VSCPT) in a beam of metastable neon atoms. The atomic momentum\ndistribution resulting from the interaction with counterpropagating sigma_+ and\nsigma_- radiation which couples a J_g=2 \u003c-\u003e J_e=1 transition is measured via\nthe transversal beam profile. This transition exhibits a stable VSCPT dark\nstate formed by the two |J=2,m=+/-1\u003e states, and a metastable dark state\ncontaining the |J=2,m=+/-2\u003e and |J=2,m=0\u003e states. The dynamics of the formation\nand decay of stable and metastable dark states is studied experimentally and\nnumerically and the finite lifetime of the metastable dark state is\nexperimentally observed. We compare the measured distribution with a numerical\nsolution of the master equation.",
