Abstract
It is experimentally demonstrated that a beam of neutral dipolar molecules can be efficiently decelerated with a time-varying electric field. A pulsed beam of neutral metastable CO molecules is slowed down from 225 m/s ( ) to 98 m/s ( ) upon passage through an array of 63 synchronously pulsed electric field stages.
