Statistics and systematics of electron EDM searches with BaF
A. Boeschoten, V. R. Marshall, T. B. Meijknecht +26
The NL-EDM experiment searches for a non-zero electric dipole moment of the electron (EDM) in the ground state of barium monofluoride (BaF). A beam of BaF from a supers…
A cold beam of BaOH molecules using a water-vapour seeded neon gas
Ties Hendrik Fikkers, Nithesh Balasubramanian, Joost W. F. van Hofslot +3
In this paper we report on the production and characterization of a cold beam of BaOH molecules using a cryogenic buffer-gas beam source. BaOH is a highly suitable molecule for stu…
Precision spectroscopy of the transition in BaF
M. C. Mooij, H. L. Bethlem, W. Ubachs +14
High-resolution spectroscopy on the - electronic system of BaF is performed using a cold molecular beam produced by a buffer gas source. The hyperfin…
2D transverse laser cooling of a hexapole focused beam of cold BaF molecules
Joost W. F. van Hofslot, Izabella E. Thompson, Anno Touwen +18
A cryogenic buffer gas beam, an electrostatic hexapole lens, and 2D transverse Doppler laser cooling are combined to produce a bright beam of barium monofluoride (Ba…
Prospects for measuring the electron's electric dipole moment with polyatomic molecules in an optical lattice
Roman Bause, Nithesh Balasubramanian, Ties Fikkers +8
We present the conceptual design of an experiment to measure the electron's electric dipole moment (eEDM) using BaOH molecules in an optical lattice. The BaOH molecule is l…
Influence of source parameters on the longitudinal phase-space distribution of a pulsed cryogenic beam of barium fluoride molecules
M C Mooij, H L Bethlem, A Boeschoten +13
Recently, we have demonstrated a method to record the longitudinal phase-space distribution of a pulsed cryogenic buffer gas cooled beam of barium fluoride molecules. In this paper…
