A chopper system for shortening the duration of pulsed supersonic beams seeded with NO or Br2 down to 13 microseconds
Jessica Lam, Chris Rennick, Tim Softley
A chopper wheel construct is used to shorten the duration of a molecular beam to 13 microseconds. Molecular beams seeded with NO or with Br2 and an initial pulse width of greater o…
A compact design for a magnetic synchrotron to store beams of hydrogen atoms
Aernout P P van der Poel, Katrin Dulitz, Timothy P Softley +1
We present a design for an atomic synchrotron consisting of 40 hybrid magnetic hexapole lenses arranged in a circle. We show that for realistic parameters, hydrogen atoms with a ve…
Zeeman deceleration of electron-impact-excited metastable helium atoms
Katrin Dulitz, Atreju Tauschinsky, Timothy P Softley
We present experimental results that demonstrate - for the first time - the Zeeman deceleration of helium atoms in the metastable 2^3S_1state. A more than 40% decrease of the kinet…
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…
