Order of Magnitude Improved Optical Trapping of Molecules Through Transverse Cooling
Abdullah Nasir, Annika Lunstad, Mingda Li +5
We demonstrate a two-dimensional Sisyphus laser cooling method that increases the number of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) molecules loaded into a magneto-optical trap by a factor…
High-sensitivity molecular spectroscopy of SrOH using magneto-optical trapping
Annika Lunstad, Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Zack Lasner +5
Polyatomic molecules are projected to be powerful tools in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), including new CP-violating (CPV) interactions and ultralight dark m…
Optical Trapping of SrOH Molecules for Dark Matter and T-violation Searches
Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Abdullah Nasir, Annika Lunstad +4
We report an optical dipole trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) with 1400(300) trapped molecules. Through optical pumping, we access vibrational states that are proposed for imp…
State Selective Preparation and Nondestructive Detection of Trapped
Ambesh Pratik Singh, Michael Mitchell, Will Henshon +4
The ability to prepare molecular ions in selected quantum states enables studies in areas such as chemistry, metrology, spectroscopy, quantum information, and precision measurement…
Magneto-optical trapping of a heavy polyatomic molecule for precision measurement
Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett, Hiromitsu Sawaoka +10
We report a magneto-optical trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) containing 2000(600) molecules at a temperature of 1.2(3) mK. The lifetime is 91(9) ms, which is limited by decay…
Vibronic branching ratios for nearly-closed rapid photon cycling of SrOH
Zack Lasner, Annika Lunstad, Chaoqun Zhang +2
The vibrational branching ratios of SrOH for radiative decay to the ground electronic state, , from the first two electronically excited states, and $B^{2}Σ^{+…
Optical clocks based on molecular vibrations as probes of variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio
David Hanneke, Boran Kuzhan, Annika Lunstad
Some new physics models of quantum gravity or dark matter predict drifts or oscillations of the fundamental constants. A relatively simple model relates molecular vibrations to the…
