Fine and hyperfine interactions in YbOH and YbOH
Nickolas H. Pilgram, Arian Jadbabaie, Yi Zeng +2
The odd isotopologues of ytterbium monohydroxide, YbOH, have been identified as promising molecules in which to measure parity (P) and time reversal (T) violating physi…
Observation and laser spectroscopy of ytterbium monomethoxide, YbOCH
Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett +4
We describe a laser spectroscopic study of ytterbium monomethoxide, YbOCH, a species of interest to searches for time-reversal symmetry violation using laser-cooled molecules.…
Branching ratios, radiative lifetimes and transition dipole moments for YbOH
Ephriem Tadesse Mengesha, Anh T. Le, Timothy C. Steimle +5
Medium resolution ( ~ 3 GHz) laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation spectra of a rotationally cold sample of YbOH in the 17300-17950 cm range have been recorded usi…
Laser-Cooled Polyatomic Molecules for Improved Electron Electric Dipole Moment Searches
Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett +4
Doppler and Sisyphus cooling of YbOH are achieved and studied. This polyatomic molecule has high sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model and represents a new class…
Determination of CaOH and CaOCH vibrational branching ratios for direct laser cooling and trapping
Ivan Kozyryev, Timothy C. Steimle, Phelan Yu +2
Alkaline earth monoalkoxide free radicals (MORs) have molecular properties conducive to direct laser cooling to sub-millikelvin temperatures. Using dispersed laser induced fluoresc…
