Vibrational quenching of the electronic ground state in ThO in cold collisions with He
Yat Shan Au, Colin B. Connolly, Wolfgang Ketterle +1
We measure the ratio of the momentum-transfer to the vibrational quenching cross section for the X (), , state of molecular thorium monoxide (ThO) in…
Properties of the ground F state and the excited P state of atomic thorium in cold collisions with He
Yat Shan Au, Colin B. Connolly, Wolfgang Ketterle +1
We measure inelastic collisional cross sections for the ground F state and the excited P state of atomic thorium in cold collisions with He. We determine for Th…
Formation and dynamics of van der Waals molecules in buffer-gas traps
Nathan Brahms, Timur V. Tscherbul, Peng Zhang +7
We show that weakly bound He-containing van der Waals molecules can be produced and magnetically trapped in buffer-gas cooling experiments, and provide a general model for the form…
Large spin relaxation rates in trapped submerged-shell atoms
Colin B. Connolly, Yat Shan Au, S. Charles Doret +2
Spin relaxation due to atom-atom collisions is measured for magnetically trapped erbium and thulium atoms at a temperature near 500 mK. The rate constants for Er-Er and Tm-Tm colli…
