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…

Slow and velocity-tunable beams of metastable He by multistage Zeeman deceleration

Michael Motsch, Paul Jansen, Josef A. Agner +2

Metastable helium molecules (He) have been generated by striking a discharge in a supersonic expansion of helium gas from a pulsed valve. When operating the pulsed valve at r…

Storage and Adiabatic Cooling of Polar Molecules in a Microstructured Trap

B. G. U. Englert, M. Mielenz, C. Sommer +5

We present a versatile electric trap for the exploration of a wide range of quantum phenomena in the interaction between polar molecules. The trap combines tunable fields, homogene…
