Large molasses-like cooling forces for molecules using polychromatic optical fields: A theoretical description
Konrad Wenz, Ivan Kozyryev, Rees L. McNally +2
Recent theoretical investigations have indicated that rapid optical cycling should be feasible in complex polyatomic molecules with diverse constituents, geometries and symmetries.…
Optical cycling, radiative deflection and laser cooling of barium monohydride (BaH)
Rees L. McNally, Ivan Kozyryev, Sebastian Vazquez-Carson +3
We present the first experimental demonstration of radiation pressure force deflection and direct laser cooling for barium monohydride (BaH) molecules resulting from multiple photo…
Constraining domain wall dark matter with a network of superconducting gravimeters and LIGO
Rees L. McNally, Tanya Zelevinsky
There is strong astrophysical evidence that dark matter (DM) makes up some 27% of all mass in the universe. Yet, beyond gravitational interactions, little is known about its proper…
Assignment of excited-state bond lengths using branching-ratio measurements: The B state of BaH molecules
K. Moore, I. C. Lane, R. L. McNally +1
Vibrational branching ratios in the B -- X and A -- X optical-cycling transitions of BaH molecules are investigated using measurements and {\it ab initio}…
