Towards magnetic slowing of atoms and molecules

arXiv:physics/0703111 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/9/4/096

Abstract

We outline a method to slow paramagnetic atoms or molecules using pulsed magnetic fields. We also discuss the possibility of producing trapped particles by adiabatic deceleration of a magnetic trap. We present numerical simulation results for the slowing and trapping of molecular oxygen.
