We report on the Zeeman deceleration of ground-state NH radicals, using a decelerator that consists of 100 pulsed solenoids and 100 permanent hexapoles. Packets of state-selected NH ($X\,^3\Sigma^-$, N=0, J=1) radicals are produced with final velocities ranging between 510 m/s and 150 m/s. The velocity distributions of the packets of NH exiting the Zeeman decelerator are probed using velocity map imaging detection. We present a new 1+2' resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization scheme for NH, that allows for velocity map imaging detection under ion recoil-free conditions. The packets of Zeeman-decelerated NH radicals, in combination with the new detection scheme, offer interesting prospects for the use of this important radical in high-resolution crossed-beam scattering experiments. |
