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…
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…
