    "abstract": "We report a direct observation of radiation pressure, exerted on cold\nrubidium atoms while bouncing on an evanescent-wave atom mirror. We analyze the\nradiation pressure by imaging the motion of the atoms after the bounce. The\nnumber of absorbed photons is measured for laser detunings ranging from {190\nMHz} to {1.4 GHz} and for angles from {0.9 mrad} to {24 mrad} above the\ncritical angle of total internal reflection. Depending on these settings, we\nfind velocity changes parallel with the mirror surface, ranging from 1 to {18\ncm/s}. This corresponds to 2 to 31 photon recoils per atom. These results are\nindependent of the evanescent-wave optical power.",
