Optical pumping of matrix-isolated barium monofluoride: dependence on the orientation of the BaF molecular axis
D. Heinrich, Z. Corriveau, J. Perez Garcia +10
Optical pumping of barium monofluoride (BaF) within a cryogenic neon matrix is demonstrated. Interestingly, with an applied magnetic field of 2~G, optical pumping is found to be co…
Specular reflection of polar molecules from a simple multi-cylinder electrostatic mirror: a method for separating BaF molecules produced in a buffer-gas-cooled laser-ablation source from other ablation products
H. -M. Yau, Z. Corriveau, N. T. McCall +8
A method for specular reflection of polar molecules is proposed. Electrostatatic potentials and forces are calculated for a low-field-seeking molecule near a series of long cylindr…
Matrix isolated barium monofluoride: Assembling a sample of BaF molecules for a measurement of the electron electric dipole moment
Z. Corriveau, R. L. Lambo, D. Heinrich +10
A cryogenic neon solid doped with barium monofluoride (BaF) is created on a cryogenic substrate using a stream of Ne gas and a high-intensity beam of BaF molecules produced in a cr…
Systematic effects important to separated-oscillatory-field measurements of the Lamb shift in atomic hydrogen
A. Marsman, M. Horbatsch, Z. A. Corriveau +1
We evaluate a number of systematic effects that are important for an experimental microwave measurement of the S-to-P intervals in atomic hydrogen. The analysis is import…
