7 J an 2 00 8 The radiative lifetime of metastable CO ( a 3 Π , v = 0 )

چکیده
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the radiative lifetime of CO in the aΠ1,2, v = 0 state. CO molecules in a beam are prepared in selected rotational levels of this metastable state, Stark-decelerated and electrostatically trapped. From the phosphorescence decay in the trap, the radiative lifetime is measured to be 2.63 ± 0.03 ms for the aΠ1, v = 0, J = 1 level. From spin-orbit coupling between the aΠ and the AΠ state a 20% longer radiative lifetime of 3.16 ms is calculated for this level. It is concluded that coupling to other Π states contributes to the observed phosphorescence rate of metastable CO.

Interference pattern analysis in the decays φ → γπη and φ → γπ 0 π 0. Abstract We analyse the interference patterns in the reactions φ → (γa 0 + π 0 ρ) → γπη and φ → (γf 0 +π 0 ρ) → γπ 0 π 0. Taking into account the interference, we fit the experimental data and show that the background reaction does not distort the π 0 η spectrum in the decay φ → γπη everywhere over the energy region and does ...
متن کاملProducing translationally cold, ground-state CO molecules.
Carbon monoxide molecules in their electronic, vibrational, and rotational ground state are highly attractive for trapping experiments. The optical or ac electric traps that can be envisioned for these molecules will be very shallow, however, with depths in the sub-milliKelvin range. Here, we outline that the required samples of translationally cold CO (X(1)Σ(+), v'' = 0, N'' = 0) molecules can...
