Prospects for a narrow line MOT in YO

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. This forbidden transition between the ${{X}^{2}}\Sigma $ and $A{{^{\prime} }^{2}}{{\Delta }_{3/2...
