Vibrational quenching of the electronic ground state in ThO in cold collisions with [superscript 3]He
We measure the ratio γ of the momentum transfer-to-vibrational quenching cross section for molecular thorium monoxide (ThO) [X([superscript 1]Σ[superscript +]), v = 1, J = 0] in collisions with atomic helium between 800 mK and 2.4 K. We find γ ∼ 10[superscript 4]. We also observe indirect evidence f...
