Guttridge, A., Hopkins, S. A., Kemp, S. L., Frye, M. D., Hutson, J. M., & Cornish, S. L. (2017). Interspecies thermalization in an ultracold mixture of Cs and Yb in an optical trap. Physical Review A, 96(1), Article 012704. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.96.012704

We present measurements of interspecies thermalization between ultracold samples of 133Cs and either 174Yb or 170Yb. The two species are trapped in a far-off-resonance optical dipole trap and 133Cs is sympathetically cooled by Yb. We extract effectiv...

AC Stark Effect in Ultracold Polar 87Rb133Cs Molecules (2017)
Journal Article
Gregory, P. D., Blackmore, J. A., Aldegunde, J., Hutson, J. M., & Cornish, S. L. (2017). AC Stark Effect in Ultracold Polar 87Rb133Cs Molecules. Physical Review A, 96(2), Article 021402(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.96.021402

We investigate the effect of far-off-resonant trapping light on ultracold bosonic 87Rb133Cs molecules. We use kHz-precision microwave spectroscopy to measure the differential AC~Stark shifts between the ground and first excited rotational levels of t...
