Stark deceleration of lithium hydride molecules
S. K. Tokunaga, J. M. Dyne, E. A. Hinds +1
We describe the production of cold, slow-moving LiH molecules. The molecules are produced in the ground state using laser ablation and supersonic expansion, and 68% of the populati…
Prospects for measuring the electric dipole moment of the electron using electrically trapped polar molecules
M. R. Tarbutt, J. J. Hudson, B. E. Sauer +1
Heavy polar molecules can be used to measure the electric dipole moment of the electron, which is a sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. The value is determined by…
Lifetime of the A(v'=0) state and Franck-Condon factor of the A-X(0-0) transition of CaF measured by the saturation of laser-induced fluorescence
T. E. Wall, J. F. Kanem, J. J. Hudson +5
We describe a method for determining the radiative decay properties of a molecule by studying the saturation of laser-induced fluorescence and the associated power broadening of sp…
Nonlinear dynamics in an alternating gradient guide for neutral particles
M. R. Tarbutt, E. A. Hinds
Neutral particles can be guided and focussed using electric field gradients that focus in one transverse direction and defocus in the other, alternating between the two directions.…
Preparation and manipulation of molecules for fundamental physics tests
M. R. Tarbutt, J. J. Hudson, B. E. Sauer +1
This paper is a chapter from an upcoming book on cold molecule physics. In it we describe techniques for the preparation and manipulation of cold molecules. We further describe tec…
