Slowing YbF molecules using radiation pressure
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, G. Peng, S. Li +7
We report radiation pressure slowing of YbF molecules to low velocity. In YbF, laser slowing is hindered by leaks out of the optical cycle attributed to low-lying metastable electr…

Slow molecular beams from a cryogenic buffer gas source
A. D. White, S. Popa, J. Mellado-Munoz +4
We study the properties of a cryogenic buffer gas source that uses a low temperature two-stage buffer gas cell to produce very slow beams of ytterbium monofluoride molecules. The m…
