Velocity-selected molecular pulses produced by an electric guide
Christian Sommer, Michael Motsch, Sotir Chervenkov +4
Electrostatic velocity filtering is a technique for the production of continuous guided beams of slow polar molecules from a thermal gas. We extended this technique to produce puls…
Collisional effects in the formation of cold guided beams of polar molecules
Michael Motsch, Christian Sommer, Martin Zeppenfeld +3
High fluxes of cold polar molecules are efficiently produced by electric guiding and velocity filtering. Here, we investigate different aspects of the beam formation. Variations of…
Continuous guided beams of slow and internally cold polar molecules
Christian Sommer, Laurens D. van Buuren, Michael Motsch +4
We describe the combination of buffer-gas cooling with electrostatic velocity filtering to produce a high-flux continuous guided beam of internally cold and slow polar molecules. I…
Cold guided beams of water isotopologs
M. Motsch, L. D. van Buuren, C. Sommer +3
Electrostatic velocity filtering and guiding is an established technique to produce high fluxes of cold polar molecules. In this paper we clarify different aspects of this techniqu…
Electrostatic extraction of cold molecules from a cryogenic reservoir
L. D. van Buuren, C. Sommer, M. Motsch +5
We present a method which delivers a continuous, high-density beam of slow and internally cold polar molecules. In our source, warm molecules are first cooled by collisions with a…
