  • Patent number: 12046388
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed for implementing a radio frequency quadrupole stark decelerator (RFQ-SD). The RFQ-SD includes two dielectric plates having substantially planar shapes. The first dielectric plate includes a first set of wires being attached onto a surface of the first dielectric plate and a second set of wires being attached onto the surface of the first dielectric plate. The second dielectric plate includes a third set of wires being attached onto a surface of the second dielectric plate and a fourth set of wires being attached onto the surface of the second dielectric plate. The first dielectric plate and the second dielectric plate are spaced apart such that every four wires, two wires from the first dielectric plate and two wires from the second dielectric plate, form a quadrupole electric field channel for guiding neutral polar molecules.
