Optical cycling, radiative deflection and laser cooling of barium monohydride (138Ba1H)
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We present the first experimental demonstration of radiation pressure force deflection and direct laser cooling for barium monohydride (BaH) molecules resulting from multiple photon scattering.

Polarizability of ultracold molecules in the rovibrational ground state of
New Journal of Physics, 2015 We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the dynamical polarizability $\alpha (\omega )$ of ${\mathrm{Rb}}_{2}$ molecules in the rovibrational ground state of ${a}^{3}{\Sigma }_{u}^{+}$ .

Maximizing the capture velocity of molecular magneto-optical traps with Bayesian optimization
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Magneto-optical trapping (MOT) is a key technique on the route towards ultracold molecular ensembles. However, the realization and optimization of magneto-optical traps with their wide parameter space is particularly difficult.

High-resolution mid-infrared spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled methyltrioxorhenium molecules
New Journal of Physics, 2017 We demonstrate cryogenic buffer-gas cooling of gas-phase methyltrioxorhenium (MTO). This molecule is closely related to chiral organometallic molecules where the parity-violating energy differences between enantiomers is measurable.

Characterizing the Zeeman slowing force for 40Ca19F molecules
New Journal of Physics, 2021 In this paper we investigate the feasibility of Zeeman slowing calcium monofluoride molecules originating from a cryogenic buffer gas cell. We measure the ${A}^{2}{{\Pi}}_{1/2}(v=0,J=\frac{1}{2})-{X}^{2}{{\Sigma}}_{1/2}(v=0,N=1)$ hyperfine spectrum of ...

Cold collisions of complex polyatomic molecules [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012 We introduce a method for classical trajectory calculations to simulate collisions between atoms and large rigid asymmetric-top molecules. We investigate the formation of molecule-helium complexes in buffer-gas cooling experiments at a temperature of 6.5 K for molecules as large as naphthalene.

Prospects for a narrow line MOT in YO
New Journal of Physics, 2015 In addition to being suitable for laser cooling and trapping in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) using a relatively broad $(\sim 5\;{\rm MHz})$ transition, the molecule YO possesses a narrow-line transition.

Enhanced molecular yield from a cryogenic buffer gas beam source via excited state chemistry
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We use narrow-band laser excitation of Yb atoms to substantially enhance the brightness of a cold beam of YbOH, a polyatomic molecule with high sensitivity to physics beyond the standard model (BSM).
