Surface-electrode decelerator and deflector for Rydberg atoms and molecules. Allmendinger, P., Deiglmayr, J., Agner, J. A., Schmutz, H., & Merkt, F. Physical Review A, 90(4):043403, 2014. Paper doi abstract bibtex A surface-electrode decelerator and deflector for Rydberg atoms and molecules has been developed with the goal of performing collisional experiments. Translationally cold H2 molecules in a supersonic beam were excited to Rydberg-Stark states of principal quantum number n=31, loaded into electric traps moving at a predetermined speed above the surface of a bent printed circuit board, decelerated, and deflected from the original direction of the supersonic beam by an angle of 10∘. The phase-space characteristics of the deflected beam were characterized by measuring the time-of-flight distribution and images of the Rydberg molecules and comparing them to the results of numerical particle-trajectory simulations. More than 1000 H2 molecules were deflected per experimental cycle at a repetition rate of 25 Hz. The phase-space characteristics of the deflector make it attractive to study ion-molecule reactions at low collision energies.
