    • Magnetic Trapping of NH Molecules with 20 s Lifetimes 

      Tsikata, E.; Campbell, W. C.; Hummon, M. T.; Lu, Hsin-I; Doyle, John M. (Institute of Physics, 2010)
      Buffer gas cooling is used to trap NH molecules with 1/e lifetimes exceeding 20 s. Helium vapor generated by laser desorption of a helium film is employed to thermalize 10\(^5\) molecules at a temperature of 500 mK in a ...

    • Spin-orbit interaction and large inelastic rates in bismuth-helium collisions 

      Maxwell, S. E.; Hummon, M. T.; Wang, Y.; Buchachenko, A. A.; Krems, R. V.; Doyle, John M. (American Physical Society (APS), 2008)
      We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of cold collisions between bismuth and helium atoms in strong magnetic fields and demonstrate that the spin-orbit interaction coupling between different nonrelativistic ...
