Stopping particles of arbitrary velocities with an accelerated wall

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We propose a method to stop a pulse of particles with different velocities by making them collide with an accelerated wall with trajectory ∼t. Classical and quantum-mechanical cases are discussed, and numerical simulations are provided that show the efficiency of the method.
