Theoretical Calculation of Electron Transfer Between Calcium Ground-State Atoms and Rydberg Atoms
Alisée Bouillon, Matthieu Génévriez
We calculated the electronic interaction associated with the exchange of an electron between an atom of calcium excited to a Rydberg state () and another, neighbouring…
High-Resolution Spectroscopy of the X-A Transition of the Carbon Monoxide Dication CO
X. Huet, A. Aerts, N. Vaeck +2
We report rovibronic spectra of the A () - X rovibronic transitions ( and 2) of the CO doubly-charged molecular ion. Spectra were r…
A permanent-magnet Zeeman slower and magneto-optical trap for calcium atoms for ultracold Rydberg physics
Eduardo Marin-Bujedo, Julien A. L. Grondin, Thomas Schiltz +3
We report the construction and characterization of an experimental setup for producing a cold gas of Ca atoms and excite them to high Rydberg states with a resonant three-ph…
Series of molecular-like doubly excited states of a quasi-three-body Coulomb system
Matthieu Génévriez, Maxence Jungers, Christian Rosen +1
We investigated resonant multiphoton excitation of high-angular-momentum planetary states of the strontium atom, a quasi-three-body Coulomb system, both experimentally and theoreti…
Direct laser cooling of Rydberg atoms with an isolated-core transition
Alisée Bouillon, Eduardo Marin-Bujedo, Matthieu Génévriez
We propose a scheme to directly laser cool Rydberg atoms by laser cooling the residual ion core within the Rydberg-electron orbit. The scheme is detailed for alkaline-earth-metal R…
