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…
A robust floating nanoammeter
B. E. Sauer, D. M. Kara, J. J. Hudson +2
A circuit capable of measuring nanoampere currents while floating at voltages up to at least 25kV is described. The circuit relays its output to ground potential via an optical fib…
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…
Surface-induced heating of cold polar molecules
Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, M. R. Tarbutt, Stefan Scheel +1
We study the rotational and vibrational heating of diatomic molecules placed near a surface at finite temperature on the basis of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics. The internal…
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.…
