TY - JOUR KW - pfc AU - J. Bochinski AU - E. Hudson AU - Heather Lewandowski AU - G. Meijer AU - Jun Ye AB - We report bunching, slowing, and acceleration of a supersonically cooled beam of diatomic hydroxyl radicals (OH). In situ observation of laser-induced fluorescence along the beam propagation path allows for detailed characterization of longitudinal phase-space manipulation of OH molecules through the Stark effect by precisely sequenced inhomogeneous electric fields.
