Design and Performance of a Heated Gas Injector for Producing Cold Molecular Beams
Avneesh Verma, Jack Mango, Shungo Fukaya +4
We realize an injector device that supplies warm gas directly into a cryogenic environment. This injector has several advantageous features, including robustness, rigidity, simple…
Photon Cycling and Laser Cooling of an Asymmetric Top Molecule
Grace K. Li, Giseok Lee, Jack Mango +8
We realize two-dimensional magnetically-assisted Sisyphus laser cooling of an asymmetric top molecule (ATM), calcium monoamide (CaNH). Vibrational state closure is achieved wit…
High-sensitivity molecular spectroscopy of SrOH using magneto-optical trapping
Annika Lunstad, Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Zack Lasner +5
Polyatomic molecules are projected to be powerful tools in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), including new CP-violating (CPV) interactions and ultralight dark m…
Optical Trapping of SrOH Molecules for Dark Matter and T-violation Searches
Hiromitsu Sawaoka, Abdullah Nasir, Annika Lunstad +4
We report an optical dipole trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) with 1400(300) trapped molecules. Through optical pumping, we access vibrational states that are proposed for imp…
