Magneto-optical trapping of a heavy polyatomic molecule for precision measurement
Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett, Hiromitsu Sawaoka +10
We report a magneto-optical trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) containing 2000(600) molecules at a temperature of 1.2(3) mK. The lifetime is 91(9) ms, which is limited by decay…

Buffer gas cooling of carbon atoms
Takashi Sakamoto, Kohei Suzuki, Kosuke Yoshioka
We demonstrate buffer gas cooling of carbon atoms to cryogenic temperatures. By employing pulsed two-photon excitation followed by vacuum ultraviolet fluorescence detection, we mea…
