Photoassociation is the process in which two colliding atoms absorb a photon to form an
excited molecule. The development of laser-cooling techniques for producing gases at …

The new spectroscopic technique of photoassociation of ultracold atoms is reviewed, with an
emphasis on connecting this area to traditional bound-state molecular spectroscopy. In …

We report on the formation of translationally cold Cs 2 ground-state molecules through
photoassociation of laser-cooled cesium atoms in a magneto-optical trap. The cold …

Progress on research in the field of molecules at cold and ultracold temperatures is reported
in this review. It covers extensively the experimental methods to produce, detect and …

We report the first observation of translationally cold (∼ 90 μ K) Rb 2 molecules. They are
produced in a magneto-optical trap in their triplet ground state. The detection is performed …

We report the observation of translationally ultracold heteronuclear ground-state molecules
in a two-species magneto-optical trap containing K 39 and Rb 85 atoms. The KRb molecules …

Helium cluster isolation spectroscopy is a recently developed spectroscopic method that
involves the formation of a beam of large helium clusters (104 atoms per cluster), the capture …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the formation of ultracold molecules—that is, at
temperatures well below 1 mK, the photoassociation scheme in a sample of laser-cooled …

(1) Il::(A)-(1) Il: g+(X) transitions of Rb2 have been accurately measured with the technique
of Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The wave numbers of all the rotational lines were …

New experimental results on polarized structure functions, cross sections for e^±p neutral
and charge current reactions and ν (̄ν) charge current on isoscalar targets are compared …
