Electrostatic trapping of metastable NH molecules
We report on the Stark deceleration and electrostatic trapping of NH (a ∆) radicals. In the trap, the molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden A Π ← a ∆ transition and detected via their subsequent fluorescence to the X Σ ground state. The 1/e trapping time is 1.4 ± 0.1 s, from which a lower limit of 2.7 s for the radiative lifetime of the a ∆, v = 0, J = 2 state is deduced. The spectral pro...
متن کاملAccumulation of Stark-decelerated NH molecules in a magnetic trap
Here we report on the accumulation of ground-state NH molecules in a static magnetic trap. A pulsed supersonic beam of NH (a∆) radicals is produced and brought to a near standstill at the center of a quadrupole magnetic trap using a Stark decelerator. There, optical pumping of the metastable NH radicals to the X3Σ− ground state is performed by driving the spin-forbidden AΠ←a∆ transition, follow...

We report on the production of a pulsed molecular beam of metastable NH (a 1∆) radicals and present first results on the Stark deceleration of the NH (a 1∆, J = 2,MΩ = −4) radicals from 550 m/s to 330 m/s. The decelerated molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden A 3Π ← a 1∆ transition, and detected via their subsequent spontaneous fluorescence to the X 3Σ−, v” = 0 ground-state. These experim...
