    "abstract": "We demonstrate and characterize a high-flux beam source for cold, slow atoms\nor molecules. The desired species is vaporized using laser ablation, then\ncooled by thermalization in a cryogenic cell of buffer gas. The beam is formed\nby particles exiting a hole in the buffer gas cell. We characterize the\nproperties of the beam (flux, forward velocity, temperature) for both an atom\n(Na) and a molecule (PbO) under varying buffer gas density, and discuss\nconditions for optimizing these beam parameters. Our source compares favorably\nto existing techniques of beam formation, for a variety of applications.",
