What is recorded here?
Truppe and colleagues trapped calcium monofluoride molecules, then switched the trap field off and applied three-dimensional optical molasses. Expansion images gave a temperature of 52 ± 2 microkelvin for the stated measurement, below the relevant Doppler limit. The work improved access to colder molecular samples.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The quoted temperature was obtained in the later molasses stage, not inside the initial magneto-optical trap. The result relies on imaging and expansion analysis; it did not establish a quantum-degenerate gas or demonstrate the later applications proposed in the paper.
