Prospects for sympathetic cooling of molecules in electrostatic, ac and microwave traps
S. K. Tokunaga, Wojciech Skomorowski, Piotr S. Żuchowski +4
We consider how trapped molecules can be sympathetically cooled by ultracold atoms. As a prototypical system, we study LiH molecules co-trapped with ultracold Li atoms. We calculat…

Nonadiabatic transitions in a Stark decelerator
T. E. Wall, S. K. Tokunaga, E. A. Hinds +1
In a Stark decelerator, polar molecules are slowed down and focussed by an inhomogeneous electric field which switches between two configurations. For the decelerator to work, it i…
