dc.descriptionWe report on the production of a pulsed molecular beam of metastable NH ($a ^1Δ$) radicals and present first results on the Stark deceleration of the NH ($a ^1Δ, J=2, MΩ=-4$) radicals from 550 m/s to 330 m/s. The decelerated molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden $A ^3Π\leftarrow a ^1Δ$ transition, and detected via their subsequent spontaneous fluorescence to the $X ^3Σ^{-}, v"=0$ ground-state. These experiments demonstrate the feasibility of our recently proposed scheme [Phys. Rev. A 64 (2001) 041401] to accumulate ground-state NH radicals in a magnetic trap.
