We compute the reduced electric-dipole matrix elements $\langle{nS_{1/2}}||D||{n'P_J}\rangle$ with $n=6,7$ and $n'=6,7,\ldots,12$ in cesium using the most complete to date ab initio relativistic coupled-cluster method which includes…
Collisions between cold polar molecules represent a fascinating research frontier, but have proven hard to probe experimentally. We report measurements of inelastic cross sections for collisions between NO and ND 3 molecules at energies…
The role of a large dipole moment in rotating neutral molecules interacting with low-energy electrons is studied using an accurate {\it ab initio} approach accounting for electronic and rotational degrees of freedom. It is found that theory…
We report on the first demonstration of transport of a multispecies ion crystal through a junction in an RF Paul trap. The trap is a two-dimensional surface-electrode trap with an X junction and segmented control electrodes to which…
The atomic population trapped in uncoupled atomic states is a limiting factor for processes based on laser-atom interaction. The use of repump laser, bi-chromatic field, and vector magnetic field are explored in degenerate as well as…
We present high accuracy relativistic coupled cluster calculations of the first and second ionisation potentials and the electron affinity of the heaviest element in the Periodic Table, Og. The results were extrapolated to the basis set…
Magnetic gradiometers have wide practical and academic applications, and two important types of field gradient observables are the total field gradient and field gradient tensor. However, measurements of the field gradient tensor have not…
We demonstrate a general three-dimensional semiclassical model as a powerful technique for the study of correlated multi-electron escape in atoms driven by infrared laser pulses at intensities where electron-electron correlation prevails.…
We study ionization of atoms in strong elliptically-polarized laser fields numerically and analytically. We focus on effects of laser ellipticity on the offset angle in photoelectron momentum distribution. This angle is considered to encode…
We present theoretical results for intensity-dependent above-threshold ionization (ATI) spectra from oriented OCS molecules probed by intense femtosecond laser pulses with wavelengths of 800 and 400 nm. The calculations were performed using…
We investigated the high-order harmonic generation by interacting time-delayed, linearly polarized bi-chromatic laser pulses with the atomic target. The frequency ratio of secondary to primary fields ($\omega_2/\omega_1$), along with the…
We report optical trapping of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). CaOH molecules from a magneto-optical trap are sub-Doppler laser cooled to $20(3)~\mu\text{K}$ in free space and loaded into an optical dipole trap. We…
We report a simple and pure data-driven method to find new energy levels of quantum many-body systems only from observed line wavelengths. In our method, all the possible combinations are computed from known energy levels and wavelengths of…
This table is an updated compilation of experimental values of the magnetic hyperfine anomaly in atomic and ionic systems. The literature search covers the period up to December 2022. A short discussion on general trends of the hyperfine…
We study the enhancement of the magnetic dipole induced excitation probability of the hyperfine ground state of Doppler-broadened muonic hydrogen ($p \mu^{-}$) by a nanosecond laser pulse in the mid-infrared range with Gaussian temporal…
The advent of powerful laser sources has made it possible to observe a relatively large cross section of the excited state of Hydrogen atom. This is due to the effect of joint collisions of a linearly polarized $N$-photon and high-energy…
The ionization of atoms and molecules by strong laser fields has been studied extensively, both theoretically and experimentally. The strong-field approximation (SFA) allows for the analytical solution of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation and…
We present ionization cross sections for antiproton and helium collisions based on ab-initio time-dependent coupled channel method. In our calculations a finite basis set of regular helium Coulomb wave packets and Slater function were used.…
A theoretical study of the K-shell ionization of hydrogen-like ions, colliding with bare nuclei, is performed within the framework of the time-dependent Dirac equation. Special emphasis is placed on the ionization probability that is…
We have theoretically and experimentally studied the dispersive signal of the Rydberg atomic electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) - Autler-Townes (AT) splitting spectra obtained using amplitude modulation of the microwave (MW)…
