A New Design for a Traveling-Wave Zeeman Decelerator: II. Experiment
Tomislav Damjanovic, Stefan Willitsch, Nicolas Vanhaecke +4
A novel traveling-wave Zeeman decelerator based on a double-helix coil geometry capable of decelerating paramagnetic molecules with high efficiency is presented. Moving magnetic tr…
A New Design for a Traveling-Wave Zeeman Decelerator: I. Theory
Tomislav Damjanovic, Stefan Willitsch, Nicolas Vanhaecke +4
The concept of a novel traveling wave Zeeman deccelerator based on a double-helix wire geometry capable of decelerating paramagnetic species with high efficiency is presented. A mo…
Accurate density measurement of a cold Rydberg gas via non collisional two-body transitions
Anne Cournol, Jacques Robert, Pierre Pillet +1
We experimentally demonstrate an original method to measure very accurately the density of a frozen Rydberg gas. It is based on the use of adiabatic transitions induced by the long…
Model for the overall phase-space acceptance in a Zeeman decelerator
Katrin Dulitz, Nicolas Vanhaecke, Timothy P. Softley
We present a new formalism to calculate phase-space acceptance in a Zeeman decelerator. Using parameters closely mimicking previous Zeeman deceleration experiments, this approach r…
Getting a Grip on the Transverse Motion in a Zeeman Decelerator
Katrin Dulitz, Michael Motsch, Nicolas Vanhaecke +1
Zeeman deceleration is an experimental technique in which inhomogeneous, time-dependent magnetic fields generated inside an array of solenoid coils are used to manipulate the veloc…
Decelerating molecules with microwave fields
Simon Merz, Nicolas Vanhaecke, Wolfgang Jäger +2
We here report on the experimental realization of a microwave decelerator for neutral polar molecules, suitable for decelerating and focusing molecules in high-field-seeking states…
