The production of cold molecular beams with a tunable velocity by means of pulsed electric fields, known as Stark deceleration, is now mature and convenient. At the same time, molecular beam experiments that use traditional ways of velocity manipulation have been commonly used to study different aspects of molecule-surface interactions in the regime of high kinetic energy. We present a new generation of molecule-surface scattering machine, which brings the advantages of Stark decelerated molecular beams to the field of surface physics. Using this machine, CO molecules will be scattered at surfaces, quantum-state selective with respect to both impacting and scattered molecules, while providing a tunable velocity in the range of 1000 to 20 m/s with an exceptional translational energy resolution.
