Enhancing radical molecular beams by skimmer cooling
Abstract
A supersonic beam source has been a key component in many experiments that rely on high molecular densities and cold temperatures. In this work, skimmer cooling is shown to enable significant gains in density for a supersonic beam with entrained species such as hydroxyl radicals.
