Manipulation of the motion of polyatomic molecules by AC and DC Stark deceleration

A conventional DC Stark decelerator, consisting of 180 stages, was constructed and tested. The experimental setup was characterized using ammonia (NH₃) as the reference molecule. Resonance Enhanced Multi-Photon Ionization method (REMPI) was used to detect the ammonia molecules. Deceleration of ammon...
