Zeeman-Sisyphus Deceleration for Heavy Molecules with Perturbed Excited-State Structure
Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Alexander Frenett, Abdullah Nasir +4
We demonstrate and characterize Zeeman-Sisyphus (ZS) deceleration of a beam of ytterbium monohydroxide (YbOH). Our method uses a combination of large magnetic fields ( 2.5 T)…
Direct observation of the Yb(4f13 6s2)F states and accurate determination of the YbF ionization energy
Thomas D. Persinger, Jiande Han, Anh T. Le +2
YbF has been identified as a molecule that can be used to investigate charge-parity symmetry violations that are beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Cooling to sub-milli…
Inner-shell excitation in the YbF molecule and its impact on laser cooling
Chi Zhang, Chaoqun Zhang, Lan Cheng +2
The YbF molecule is a sensitive system for measuring the electron's electric dipole moment. The precision of this measurement can be improved by direct laser cooling of the molecul…
