Abstract

We report the stopping of a molecular oxygen beam, using a series of pulsed electromagnetic coils. A series of coils is fired in a timed sequence to bring the molecules to near rest, where they are detected with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Applications to cold chemistry are discussed.
