A bright, slow cryogenic molecular beam source for free radicals
Abstract
We demonstrate and characterize a cryogenic forward velocity and a rotational temperature of ≈ 1 K. This source compares favorably to other methods for producing beams of free radicals and refractory species for many types of experiments. We provide details of construction that may be helpful for others attempting to use this method.
