Simulated normalized TOF signals of the present decelerated molecular package of the | 0 , 0 〉 CaF (in red) and those of | 4 , 0 〉 of the traditional one (in black) after different deceleration stages. Peaks A to H (or a to h) represent stages from 50 to 85 with the step of 5. The inset (magnified peaks of the weak ones in the left-bottom) shows clearly the normalized molecular numbers.
