Abstract
A traveling-wave Stark decelerator makes use of inhomogeneous electric fields to decelerate neutral polar molecules. So far, mostly numerical results exist on the fields and behaviour of particles inside the decelerator. However, since these results are numerically generated using simulations, a full understanding of the results may be overlooked. In order to expand the understanding of and improve simulations on the mechanics of the setup, some analytic models are studied. These models include a function for the electric and effective fields as well as a one-dimensional analysis on the phasespace stability of molecules. Under a few approximations, the one-dimensional equation of motion is shown to be isomorphic to that of a biased pendulum.
