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…
Single-photon loading of polar molecules into an optical trap
Bart J. Schellenberg, Eifion H. Prinsen, Janko Nauta +3
We propose a scheme to transfer molecules from a slow beam into an optical trap using only a single photon absorption and emission cycle. The efficiency of such a scheme is numeric…
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…
