Abstract

It is experimentally demonstrated that a beam of neutral dipolar molecules can be efficiently decelerated with a time-varying electric field. A pulsed beam of neutral metastable CO molecules is slowed down from 225 m/s ( E_kin=59cm⁻¹) to 98 m/s (E_kin=11cm⁻¹) upon passage through an array of 63 synchronously pulsed electric field stages.
