1 Deceleration and trapping of heavy diatomic molecules for precision tests of fundamental symmetries Steven Hoekstra
2 Deceleration and trapping of heavy diatomic molecules for precision tests of fundamental symmetries Steven Hoekstra - Introduction: why we do this - Stark deceleration, and its limitations - Our approach: ring deceleration + lasercooling of heavy diatomics - Outlook
3 Our main motivation: Selected molecules offer unique sensitivity to probe new physics: by precision measurements, Standard Model predictions and alternative theories can be tested
4 Our main motivation: Selected molecules offer unique sensitivity to probe new physics: by precision measurements, Standard Model predictions and alternative theories can be tested - electric dipole moment of the electron because of huge internal fields in polar molecules (YbF, PbF, PbO, ThO, WC, HfF + ) - time-variation of the constants because of high sensitivity of tunneling to mass (NH3) or close-lying states with different shifts (CO) - (nuclear-spin dependent) parity violation because of close-lying rotational and vibrational states with opposite parity (BaF, SrF, RaF)
5 Our main motivation: Selected molecules offer unique sensitivity to probe new physics: by precision measurements, Standard Model predictions and alternative theories can be tested - electric dipole moment of the electron because of huge internal fields in polar molecules (YbF, PbF, PbO, ThO, WC, HfF + ) - time-variation of the constants because of high sensitivity of tunneling to mass (NH3) or close-lying states with different shifts (CO) - (nuclear-spin dependent) parity violation because of close-lying rotational and vibrational states with opposite parity (BaF, SrF, RaF) Cold molecules offer increased sensitivity and precision: - at low temperatures, fewer states are populated - precision of measurements ultimately limited by interaction time trapped molecules / fountains / slow beams The ultimate experiment is done by precision spectroscopy on trapped ultracold molecules

7 Stark Deceleration - Can be used to decelerate neutral molecules - First succesfully demonstrated in 1999: - Based on interaction of electric dipole with electric fields - Favorable molecules: light with large dipole moment OH, CO, NH3, NH, H2CO, H2O

15 Towards larger and heavier molecules High-Z enhancements for many fundamental physics tests The challenges: Larger mass requires a longer decelerator - but long decelerators suffer from instabilities... Stark curves of heavy molecules are unfavorable: high-field seeking! (J,M) Stark curves of SrF
