Overview
Two-stage cryogenic buffer-gas cooled beams are an excellent precursors to laser cooling experiments as the thermal velocities of the atoms or molecules being cooled are comparable to the depth of traps (e.g., magneto-optical traps) [1-2]. In molecular systems, the buffer-gas cooled beams are relevant as well because they quench internal degrees of freedom (e.g., rotational) and thus create a large number of molecules in the ground state.
