Scattering resonances in slow NH-He collisions
Koos B. Gubbels, Sebastiaan Y. T. van de Meerakker, Gerrit C. Groenenboom +2
We theoretically study slow collisions of NH molecules with He atoms, where we focus in particular on the observation of scattering resonances. We calculate state-to-state inte…
Producing translationally cold, ground-state CO molecules
Janneke H. Blokland, Jens Riedel, Stephan Putzke +3
Carbon monoxide molecules in their electronic, vibrational, and rotational ground state are highly attractive for trapping experiments. The optical or ac electric traps that can be…
A traveling wave decelerator for neutral polar molecules
Samuel A. Meek, Maxwell F. Parsons, Georg Heyne +4
Recently, a decelerator for neutral polar molecules has been presented that operates on the basis of macroscopic, three-dimensional, traveling electrostatic traps (Osterwalder et a…
Stark-selected beam of ground-state OCS molecules characterized by revivals of impulsive alignment
Jens H. Nielsen, Paw Simesen, Christer Z. Bisgaard +5
We make use of an inhomogeneous electrostatic dipole field to impart a quantum-state-dependent deflection to a pulsed beam of OCS molecules, and show that those molecules residing…
An electrostatic elliptical mirror for neutral polar molecules
A. Isabel González Flórez, Samuel A. Meek, Henrik Haak +3
Focusing optics for neutral molecules finds application in shaping and steering molecular beams. Here we present an electrostatic elliptical mirror for polar molecules consisting o…
Rotational-state-specific guiding of large molecules
Stephan Putzke, Frank Filsinger, Henrik Haak +2
A beam of polar molecules can be focused and transported through an ac electric quadrupole guide. At a given ac frequency, the transmission of the guide depends on the mass-to-dipo…
Scattering of Stark-decelerated OH radicals with rare-gas atoms
Ludwig Scharfenberg, Koos B. Gubbels, Moritz Kirste +4
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the rotationally inelastic scattering of OH () radicals with the collision partners He, Ne, Ar,…
Suppression of non-adiabatic losses of molecules from chip-based microtraps
Samuel A. Meek, Gabriele Santambrogio, Boris G. Sartakov +2
Polar molecules in selected quantum states can be guided, decelerated and trapped using electric fields created by microstructured electrodes on a chip. Here we explore how non-adi…
