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…
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…
Prospects for measuring the electron's electric dipole moment with polyatomic molecules in an optical lattice
Roman Bause, Nithesh Balasubramanian, Ties Fikkers +8
We present the conceptual design of an experiment to measure the electron's electric dipole moment (eEDM) using BaOH molecules in an optical lattice. The BaOH molecule is l…
