Traveling-wave Deceleration
The traveling wave decelerator utilizes ring electrodes charged to voltages that vary sinusoidially both in space and time.

Pulsed deceleration utilizes pairs of oppositely charged rods to create the longitudinal potential hill for cold polar molecules to climb.
Our research uses supersonic expansion coupled with Stark deceleration to cool and slow polar molecules.
