Abstract
The NL-eEDM experiment aims to use a slow and intense molecular beam of barium fluoride (BaF) to enable a competitive measurement of the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM). A molecular beam of BaF is generated in a cryogenic buffer gas source and decelerated by a Stark decelerator. The beam that exits the decelerator spreads out with a transverse velocity of ± 5m/s. However, the divergence of the molecular beam should be sufficiently counteracted such that the beam can fit the constraints of the remaining part of the experimental setup. A number of lasers will be used to exert a force on the molecular beam in the transverse direction, in a technique called Doppler cooling or optical molasses.
