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…
