Raizen %J Physics %D 2007 %I arXiv %R 10.1088/1367-2630/9/4/096 %X We outline a method to slow paramagnetic atoms or molecules using pulsed magnetic fields. We also discuss the possibility of producing trapped particles by adiabatic deceleration of a magnetic trap. We present numerical simulation results for the slowing and trapping of molecular oxygen. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0703111v1
