Ab Initio Calculations of the Static and Dynamic Polarizability of BaOH
E. H. Prinsen, A. Borschevsky, S. Hoekstra +5
We present high-precision ab initio calculations of the static and dynamic polarizability of the barium monohydroxide (BaOH) molecule, using relativistic coupled-cluster th…
Statistics and systematics of electron EDM searches with BaF
A. Boeschoten, V. R. Marshall, T. B. Meijknecht +26
The NL-EDM experiment searches for a non-zero electric dipole moment of the electron (EDM) in the ground state of barium monofluoride (BaF). A beam of BaF from a supers…
Single-photon loading of polar molecules into an optical trap
Bart J. Schellenberg, Eifion H. Prinsen, Janko Nauta +3
We propose a scheme to transfer molecules from a slow beam into an optical trap using only a single photon absorption and emission cycle. The efficiency of such a scheme is numeric…
Precision spectroscopy of the transition in BaF
M. C. Mooij, H. L. Bethlem, W. Ubachs +14
High-resolution spectroscopy on the - electronic system of BaF is performed using a cold molecular beam produced by a buffer gas source. The hyperf…
Chiral Pt(Me-BPCH): Synthesis and theoretical investigation of parity violation sensitivity
Eduardus, J. Wietze J. van Boven, Charles Silva +5
A complex of platinum and the tetra-coordinate chelating ligand, R,R'-6,6'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2'-pyridine-carboxamide)-1-cyclohexane (Me-BPCH) is investigated as a potential candida…
2D transverse laser cooling of a hexapole focused beam of cold BaF molecules
Joost W. F. van Hofslot, Izabella E. Thompson, Anno Touwen +18
A cryogenic buffer gas beam, an electrostatic hexapole lens, and 2D transverse Doppler laser cooling are combined to produce a bright beam of barium monofluoride (Ba…
