  We demonstrate a method to produce a very slow atomic beam from a vapour cell
magneto-optical trap. Atoms are extracted from the trap using the radiation
pressure imbalance caused by a push beam. An additional transfer beam placed
near the center of the trap transfers the atomic beam into an off-resonant
state. The velocity of the atomic beam has been varied by changing the
intensity of the push beam or the position of the transfer beam. The method can
be used to generate a continuous, magnetically guided atomic beam in a dark
state.
