The radiative lifetime of metastable CO ()
Joop J. Gilijamse, Steven Hoekstra, Samuel A. Meek +4
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the radiative lifetime of CO in the state. CO molecules in a beam are prepared in selected rotational…

Electrostatic trapping of metastable NH molecules
Steven Hoekstra, Markus Metsala, Peter C. Zieger +4
We report on the Stark deceleration and electrostatic trapping of NH () radicals. In the trap, the molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden …

Trapping of Rb atoms by ac electric fields
Sophie Schlunk, Adela Marian, Peter Geng +3
We demonstrate trapping of an ultracold gas of neutral atoms in a macroscopic ac electric trap. Three-dimensional confinement is obtained by switching between two saddle-point conf…
