Phys. Rev. A 77, 051401(R) (2008) [4 pages]Stopping supersonic oxygen with a series of pulsed electromagnetic coils: A molecular coilgun
We report the stopping of a molecular oxygen beam, using a series of pulsed electromagnetic coils. A series of coils is fired in a timed sequence to bring the molecules to near rest, where they are detected with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Applications to cold chemistry are discussed. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
