Radiative Branching Ratios for Excited States of YbF: Application to Laser Cooling
I. J. Smallman, F. Wang, T. C. Steimle +2
We excite YbF molecules to low-lying vibrational levels of the state, and of the nearby perturber state sometimes called [18.6]0.5. By dispersing the fluorescence, we…
Measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment using YbF molecules: methods and data analysis
D. M. Kara, I. J. Smallman, J. J. Hudson +3
We recently reported a new measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment using YbF molecules [Nature 473, 493 (2011)]. Here, we give a more detailed description of the metho…
Franck-Condon Factors and Radiative Lifetime of the A^{2}Π_{1/2} - X^{2}Σ^{+} Transition of Ytterbium Monoflouride, YbF
Xiujuan Zhuang, Anh Le, Timothy C. Steimle +8
The fluorescence spectrum resulting from laser excitation of the A^{2}Π_{1/2} - X^{2}Σ^{+} (0,0) band of ytterbium monofluoride, YbF, has been recorded and analyzed to determine th…
Prospects for the measurement of the electron electric dipole moment using YbF
B. E. Sauer, J. J. Hudson, D. M. Kara +3
We discuss an experiment underway at Imperial College London to measure the permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron using a molecular beam of YbF. We describe the me…
