  Individual laser cooled atoms are delivered on demand from a single atom
magneto-optic trap to a high-finesse optical cavity using an atom conveyor.
Strong coupling of the atom with the cavity field allows simultaneous cooling
and detection of individual atoms for time scales exceeding 15 s. The single
atom scatter rate is studied as a function of probe-cavity detuning and probe
Rabi frequency, and the experimental results are in good agreement with
theoretical predictions. We demonstrate the ability to manipulate the position
of a single atom relative to the cavity mode with excellent control and
reproducibility.
