Towards the study of cold chemical reactions using Zeeman decelerated supersonic beams

open access: yes, 2016
Zeeman deceleration is an experimental technique which allows for the manipulation of open-shell atoms and molecules in a supersonic beam thus producing mK-cold, velocity-tunable beams of particles in selected quantum states. The method relies on the Zeeman interaction between paramagnetic particles and time-varying, inhomogeneous magnetic fields ...

Zeeman deceleration of H and D

Physical Review A, 2007
Hydrogen and deuterium atoms in supersonic jet expansions have been decelerated using a multistage Zeeman decelerator. The properties of the decelerator have been completely characterized in a series of experiments in which (i) the initial longitudinal velocities of the decelerated atoms, (ii) the maximum magnetic field strength, and (iii) the duration

Multistage Zeeman deceleration of hydrogen atoms

Physical Review A, 2007
The deceleration of beams of neutral particles possessing an electron spin with time-dependent inhomogeneous magnetic fields is demonstrated experimentally. Half the kinetic energy of a velocity-selected part of a pulsed supersonic beam of hydrogen atoms in the ground state is removed using six pulsed magnetic field stages.

Zeeman deceleration of metastable nitrogen atoms

Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2016
In a proof-of-principle experiment, we show that the longitudinal velocity of a supersonic beam of nitrogen atoms in the metastable 2D state can be decreased from 460 to 410 m s−1 using a 12-stage Zeeman decelerator. The experimental results are in good agreement with three-dimensional numerical particle trajectory simulations.

Slow beams of atomic hydrogen by multistage Zeeman deceleration

Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2008
Hydrogen atoms seeded in a supersonic expansion of Kr have been decelerated from an initial velocity of 435 m s−1 to 107 m s−1 in a multistage Zeeman decelerator. The operation of the decelerator has been fully quantified by numerical particle trajectory simulations and independent measurements of the velocity distribution by ion time-of-flight mass ...

Multistage Zeeman deceleration of NH $X\,^3��^-$ radicals

2018
We report on the Zeeman deceleration of ground-state NH radicals, using a decelerator that consists of 100 pulsed solenoids and 100 permanent hexapoles. Packets of state-selected NH ($X\,^3 ^-$, N=0, J=1) radicals are produced with final velocities ranging between 510 m/s and 150 m/s.

STARK AND ZEEMAN DECELERATION OF NEUTRAL ATOMS AND MOLECULES

Laser Spectroscopy, 2008
Argon and hydrogen atoms excited to Rydberg Stark states in supersonic expansions have been decelerated using inhomogeneous electric fields. In the case of hydrogen, the atoms have been decelerated from an initial velocity of 700 m/s to zero velocity in the lab frame using time-dependent inhomogeneous electric fields and subsequently stored in two- and

Adiabatic following conditions for the deceleration of atoms with the Zeeman tuning technique

Optics Communications, 1990
Abstract We present a study of the decelaration of atoms with the Zeeman tuning technique which allows us to investigate the conditions for the adiabatic following of atoms in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The atomic motion is described in an accelerated frame of reference and two possible solutions are found for the atomic velocity, one being ...
