Ionization potential of radium monofluoride
S. G. Wilkins, H. A. Perrett, S. M. Udrescu +43
The ionization potential (IP) of radium monofluoride (RaF) was measured to be 4.969(2)[10] eV, revealing a relativistic enhancement in the series of alkaline earth monofluorides. T…
Relativistic coupled cluster calculations of the electron affinity and ionization potentials of lawrencium
Yangyang Guo, Lukáš F Pašteka, Yuichiro Nagame +4
The calculations of the first and the second ionization potentials of lawrencium and lutetium and the electron affinity of lawrencium are performed within the relativistic coupled…
Laser Resonance Chromatography of Th in He: an ab initio investigation
Giorgio Visentin, Anastasia Borschevsky, Larry A. Viehland +2
We propose a laser resonance chromatography (LRC) experiment on Th, with the goal of detecting the ion's electronic ground F state and metastable $7…
Parity and time-reversal symmetry violation in diatomic molecules: LaO, LaS and LuO
Yuly Chamorro, Victor Flambaum, Ronald F. Garcia Ruiz +2
The violation of parity (P) and time-reversal (T) symmetry is enhanced in the LaS, LaO and LuO molecules due to the existence of states of opposite parity with small energy differe…
Radiative lifetime of the A 2Π1/2 state in RaF with relevance to laser cooling
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. G. Wilkins, P. Lassègues +38
The radiative lifetime of the (v=0) state in radium monofluoride (RaF) is measured to be 35(1) ns. The lifetime of this state and the related decay rate $Γ= 2.86(8…
Manipulating a beam of barium fluoride molecules using an electrostatic hexapole
Anno Touwen, Joost W. F. van Hofslot, Thijs Qualm +14
An electrostatic hexapole lens is used to manipulate the transverse properties of a beam of barium fluoride molecules from a cryogenic buffer gas source. The spatial distribution o…
Transport property predictions for laser resonance chromatography on Rf (Z = 104)
Giorgio Visentin, Harry Ramanantoanina, Anastasia Borschevsky +5
We propose a theoretically designed laser resonance chromatography (LRC) experiment on Rf (Z = 104) drifting in He buffer gas. To this end, we first developed a four-level rate…
Influence of source parameters on the longitudinal phase-space distribution of a pulsed cryogenic beam of barium fluoride molecules
M C Mooij, H L Bethlem, A Boeschoten +13
Recently, we have demonstrated a method to record the longitudinal phase-space distribution of a pulsed cryogenic buffer gas cooled beam of barium fluoride molecules. In this paper…
A novel method to determine the phase-space distribution of a pulsed molecular beam
Maarten C. Mooij, Hendrick L. Bethlem, Alexander Boeschoten +11
We demonstrate a novel method to determine the longitudinal phase-space distribution of a cryogenic buffer gas beam of barium-fluoride molecules based on a two-step laser excitatio…
