Recent merged neutral beam experiments have introduced the possibility of measuring reactive collisions in the cold regime down to 10 mK. The lowest temperature attained in these experiments cannot be explained using the standard formalism developed for crossed molecular beam scattering. These low temperatures become accessible because pulsed supersonic beams develop a correlation in velocity-position space during free propagation such that the local velocity standard deviation decreases. This effect is responsible for a reduction in the attainable collision energy by more than 2 orders of magnitude along with an order of magnitude improvement in the resolution. We show that supersonic nozzles with short pulsed opening durations compared to the time-of-flight, such as the Even-Lavie valve, have a clear advantage in achieving low collision energies with improved resolution. We discuss possible improvements in the energy resolution by varying the detection time duration.
