HIGH RESOLUTION LASER SPECTROSCOPY IN COLD SUPERSONIC MOLECULAR BEAMS COOLING, REDUCTION OF DOPPLER WIDTH AND APPLICATION
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
The cooling of molecules during the adiabatic expansion of supersonic seeded molecular beams is reviewed and illustrated by the example of NO -molecules. The reduction of the Doppler width by collimation of the beam and the cooling to low rotational temperatures brings a significant simplification of the complex NO -absorption spectrum and allows its assignment. The measured rotational temperature is T = 10°K. Some examples from our work illustrate this promising technique of high resolution laser spectroscopy in cold beams

Towards high-resolution laser ionization spectroscopy of the heaviest elements in supersonic gas jet expansion
Resonant laser ionization and spectroscopy are widely used techniques at radioactive ion beam facilities to produce pure beams of exotic nuclei and measure the shape, size, spin and electromagnetic multipole moments of these nuclei. However, in such measurements it is difficult to combine a high efficiency with a high spectral resolution. Here we demonstrate the on-line application of atomic la...

High resolution laser techniques were developed that address the problems listed above. The techniques are collectively called site selective laser spectroscopy. They relied upon the idea that a narrow band laser could be tuned to excite selectively an absorption line of a specific component or site within a sample so the resulting fluorescence spectrum came only from the site or component exci...
full textHigh resolution simulations of supersonic turbulence in molecular clouds
We present the results of three-dimensional simulations of supersonic Euler turbulence with grid resolutions up to 1024 points. Our numerical experiments describe nonmagnetized driven turbulent flows with an isothermal equation of state and an rms Mach number of 6. We demonstrate that the inertial range scaling properties of turbulence in this strongly compressible regime deviate substantially ...

We performed He I ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) of jet-cooled aromatic molecules using a newly developed photoelectron imaging (PEI) spectrometer. The PEI spectrometer can measure photoelectron spectra and photoelectron angular distributions at a considerably higher efficiency than a conventional spectrometer that uses a hemispherical energy analyzer. One technical problem with P...
full textLC–MS with electron ionization of cold molecules in supersonic molecular beams
A new approach is described for the combination of electron ionization and LC–MS based on sample ionization as vibrationally cold molecules in a supersonic molecular beam (Cold EI). Cold EI of sample compounds in liquid solutions (methanol, acetonitrile, water, etc.) is achieved through spray formation, followed by soft thermal vaporization of the sample particles prior to their supersonic expa...
full textHigh-resolution optical spectroscopy of Os−with a view to laser cooling of atomic anions
Atomic anions are generally not amenable to optical spectroscopy because they are loosely bound systems and rarely have bound excited states. Until recently, there was only one known negative ion with a strong bound–bound electronic transition, the osmium anion Os−. The electric-dipole transition between the F9/2 ground and DJ excited state of this ion provides unique insight into the structure...
