A large magneto-optical trap of cadmium atoms loaded from a cryogenic buffer gas beam
J. E. Padilla-Castillo, S. Hofsäss, L. Palánki +7
We demonstrate rapid loading of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of cadmium atoms from a pulsed cryogenic helium buffer gas beam, overcoming strong photoionization losses. Using the $…
Cryogenic Buffer Gas beams of AlF, CaF, MgF, YbF, Al, Ca, Yb and NO -- a comparison
Sidney C. Wright, Maximilian Doppelbauer, Simon Hofsäss +4
Cryogenic buffer gas beams are central to many cold molecule experiments. Here, we use absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy to directly compare molecular beams of AlF, CaF, MgF…
Hyperfine resolved optical spectroscopy of the AX transition in MgF
M. Doppelbauer, S. C. Wright, S. Hofsäss +3
We report on hyperfine-resolved laser spectroscopy of the AX transition of MgF, relevant for laser cooling. We recorded 25 rotational transitions with an abs…
Development and characterization of high-frequency sources for supersonic beams of fluorine radicals
Patrik Straňák, Ludger Ploenes, Simon Hofsäss +3
We present and compare two high-pressure, high-frequency electric-discharge sources for the generation of supersonic beams of fluorine radicals. The sources are based on dielectric…
Optical Quenching of Metastable Helium Atoms using Excitation to the State
Jiwen Guan, Vivien Behrendt, Pinrui Shen +5
Discharge and electron-impact excitation lead to the production of metastable helium atoms in two metastable states, 2S and 2S. However, many applications require p…
