Radio Frequency Magneto-Optical Trapping of CaF with High Density
We demonstrate significantly improved magneto-optical trapping of molecules using a very slow cryogenic beam source and either rf modulated or dc magnetic fields. The rf magneto-optical trap (MOT) confines 1.0(3)×10⁵ CaF molecules at a density of 7(3)×10⁶ cm⁻³, which is an order of magnitude greate...
