Vibrational branching ratios and hyperfine structure of ${}^{11}$BH and its suitability for laser cooling

R. J. Hendricks, D. A. Holland, S. Truppe +2

The simple structure of the BH molecule makes it an excellent candidate for direct laser cooling. We measure the branching ratios for the decay of the ${\mathrm{A}}^1\Pi (v^{\prime }=0)$ state to…
