    "abstract": "We study the dynamics of the cooling of a gas of caesium atoms in an optical\nlattice, both experimentally and with 1D full-quantum Monte Carlo simulations.\nWe find that, contrary to the standard interpretation of the Sisyphus model,\nthe cooling process does not work by a continuous decrease of the average\nkinetic energy of the atoms in the lattice. Instead, we show that the momentum\nof the atoms follows a bimodal distribution, the atoms being gradually\ntransferred from a hot to a cold mode. We suggest that the cooling mechanism\nshould be depicted in terms of a rate model, describing the transfer between\nthe two modes along with the processes occurring within each mode.",
