Wavelength-dependent frustrated internal reflection via photonic interface states (2011)
Journal Article
Cross, G., & Brand, S. (2011). Wavelength-dependent frustrated internal reflection via photonic interface states. Applied Physics Letters, 99(19), Article 191106. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3660266

Conventional frustrated internal reflection in which light is able to tunnel across a small air gap between two prisms is a well known phenomenon. In this work, an experimental proof-of-concept demonstration of a polarization and highly wavelength se...

Bose-Einstein condensation of 87Rb in a levitated crossed dipole trap (2011)
Journal Article
Jenkin, D., McCarron, D., Koppinger, M., Cho, H., Hopkins, S., & Cornish, S. (2011). Bose-Einstein condensation of 87Rb in a levitated crossed dipole trap. The European Physical Journal D, 65(1-2), 11-18. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjd/e2011-10720-5

We report an apparatus and method capable of producing Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of ∼1 × 10687Rb atoms, and ultimately designed for sympathetic cooling of 133Cs and the creation of ultracold RbCs molecules. The method combines several elements... Read More about Bose-Einstein condensation of 87Rb in a levitated crossed dipole trap.

A high phase-space density mixture of (87)Rb and (133)Cs: towards ultracold heteronuclear molecules (2011)
Journal Article
Cho, H., McCarron, D., Jenkin, D., Koeppinger, M., & Cornish, S. (2011). A high phase-space density mixture of (87)Rb and (133)Cs: towards ultracold heteronuclear molecules. The European Physical Journal D, 65(1-2), 125-131. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjd/e2011-10716-1

We report the production of a high phase-space density mixture of 87Rb and 133Cs atoms in a levitated crossed optical dipole trap as the first step towards the creation of ultracold RbCs molecules via magneto-association. We present a simple and robu... Read More about A high phase-space density mixture of (87)Rb and (133)Cs: towards ultracold heteronuclear molecules.

Astrophysical limits on light NMSSM neutralinos (2011)
Journal Article
Albornoz Vásquez, D., Bélanger, G., & Boehm, C. (2011). Astrophysical limits on light NMSSM neutralinos. Physical Review D, Particles and fields, 84(9), Article 095008. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.84.095008

It was recently shown that light LSP neutralinos could be found in the framework of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). These candidates would escape known particle physics constraints even though they are relatively light. We... Read More about Astrophysical limits on light NMSSM neutralinos.
