This article reviews recent developments in tests of fundamental physics using atoms and
molecules, including the subjects of parity violation, searches for permanent electric dipole …

1. INTRODUCTION Beams of atoms and molecules are stalwart tools for spectroscopy and
studies of collisional processes. 1− 4 The supersonic expansion technique can create cold …

The standard model of particle physics accurately describes all particle physics
measurements made so far in the laboratory. However, it is unable to answer many …

The Standard Model of particle physics is known to be incomplete. Extensions to the
Standard Model, such as weak-scale supersymmetry, posit the existence of new particles …

We demonstrate one-dimensional sub-Doppler laser cooling of a beam of YbF molecules to
100 μ K. This is a key step towards a measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment …

It has been roughly three decades since laser cooling techniques produced ultracold
atoms,,, leading to rapid advances in a wide array of fields. Laser cooling has not yet been …

We demonstrate slowing and longitudinal cooling of a supersonic beam of CaF molecules
using counterpropagating laser light resonant with a closed rotational and almost-closed …

The motion of neutral molecules in a beam can be manipulated and controlled with
inhomogeneous electric and magnetic fields. Static fields can be used to deflect or focus …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Precision measurements in molecules have advanced rapidly in recent years through
developments in techniques to cool, trap, and control. The complexity of molecules makes …
