Collisions of Spin-polarized YO Molecules for Single Partial Waves

Justin J. Burau, Kameron Mehling, Matthew D. Frye +4

Efficient sub-Doppler laser cooling and optical trapping of YO molecules offer new opportunities to study collisional dynamics in the quantum regime. Confined in a crossed optical…

Measuring the electric dipole moment of the electron in BaF

eEDM collaboration, Parul Aggarwal, Hendrick L. Bethlem +13

We investigate the merits of a measurement of the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron (EDM) with barium monofluoride molecules, thereby searching for phenomena of C…

Narrowline Laser Cooling and Spectroscopy of Molecules via Stark States

Kameron Mehling, Justin J. Burau, Logan E. Hillberry +5

The electronic energy level structure of yttrium monoxide (YO) provides a long-lived, low-lying state ideal for high-precision molecular spectroscopy, narrowline laser coo…

Systematic study and uncertainty evaluation of -odd molecular enhancement factors in BaF

Pi A. B. Haase, Diewertje J. Doeglas, Alexander Boeschoten +17

A measurement of the magnitude of the electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) larger than that predicted by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is expected to have a…

Benchmarking of the Fock space coupled cluster method and uncertainty estimation: Magnetic hyperfine interaction in the excited state of BaF

Malika Denis, Pi A. B. Haase, Maarten C. Mooij +16

We present an investigation of the performance of the relativistic multi-reference Fock-space coupled cluster (FSCC) method for predicting molecular hyperfine structure (HFS) const…

Blue-Detuned Magneto-Optical Trap of Molecules

Justin J. Burau, Parul Aggarwal, Kameron Mehling +1

Direct laser cooling of molecules has reached a phase space density exceeding 10 in optical traps, but with rather small molecular numbers. To progress towards quantum degen…

High accuracy theoretical investigations of CaF, SrF, and BaF and implications for laser-cooling

Yongliang Hao, Lukaš F. Pašteka, Lucas Visscher +19

The NL-eEDM collaboration is building an experimental setup to search for the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron in a slow beam of cold barium fluoride molecules [Eur…
