Abstract
SynopsisWe developed a new-concept Zeeman decelerator which produces a traveling magnetic trap. Atoms and molecules possessing a magnetic dipole moment, in so-called low field seeking states, are trapped around a node of a propagating wave provided that the initial velocity of the wave matches a velocity populated in the supersonic beam. In addition, three dimensional confinement is achieved by controlling the radial orientation of the trap, which can be done fully independently from its longitudinal motion.
