The velocity distributions of the ground state (2P3/2) iodine atoms after photostop in the z direction (a) and x or y direction (b). The initial temperature T of the ICl precursor beam is ∼ 1 K. The strength of the E-field for precursor orientation for each case is marked correspondingly on the upper right of the plot.
