Abstract: | We have designed and implemented a new Stark decelerator based on
wire electrodes, which is suitable for ultrahigh vacuum applications. The
100 deceleration stages are fashioned out of 0.6 mm diameter tantalum and
the array's total length is 110 mm, approximately 10 times smaller than a
conventional Stark decelerator with the same number of electrode pairs.
Using the wire decelerator, we have removed more than 90% of the kinetic
energy from metastable CO molecules in a beam. |
