Continuous thermochemical sources of AlF molecules
Pulkit Kukreja, Priyansh Agarwal, Maximilian Doppelbauer +10
The AlF molecule, currently subject to laser cooling and trapping efforts, has the advantage that it can be efficiently produced in a thermochemical reaction between sublimated alu…

Magneto-optical trapping of aluminum monofluoride
J. E. Padilla-Castillo, J. Cai, P. Agarwal +6
Magneto-optical trapping of molecules has thus far been restricted to molecules with electronic ground states. These species are chemically reactive and only support a simple…

A large magneto-optical trap of cadmium atoms loaded from a cryogenic buffer gas beam
J. E. Padilla-Castillo, S. Hofsäss, L. Palánki +7
We demonstrate rapid loading of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of cadmium atoms from a pulsed cryogenic helium buffer gas beam, overcoming strong photoionization losses. Using the $…
