Measurement of the orientation of buffer-gas-cooled, electrostatically-guided ammonia molecules

The extent to which the spatial orientation of internally and translationally cold ammonia molecules can be controlled as molecules pass out of a quadrupole guide and through different electric field regions is examined. Ammonia molecules are collisionally cooled in a buffer gas cell, and are subseq...
