Abstract
To either advance our confidence in the Standard Model, or to invite new extensions, it is interesting to measure the value of the electron electric dipolemoment (e-EDM). The standard model suggests this value less than 10e−38 e cm. To measure an EDM of this magnitude, an experiment was set up. This involves decelerating and cooling heavy polar molecules. The deceleration is done using a Stark Decelerator. As particles enter the decelerator and slow down, a portion of this particles is lost due to them escaping the velocity traps when their kinetic energy is too high, or due to instability of the particles as they are decelerated. In this thesis, the effects of several changes to the deceleration methods are measured. This is done through simulation software rather than running the actual decelerator.
