Abstract

We report on a new technique that we used to accurately time the velocity of a cluster beam. It involves deflecting particles away from their usual beam path by scattering with an ablation plume. We were able to time the occurrence of a C60 cluster beam to better than 0.2%. This technique was critical in recent light-force polarizabilities experiments.
