Abstract  

We present high resolution photoassociation spectroscopy of ultracold 23Na133Cs molecules in a long-range c3+ state below the (3S1/2 + 6P3/2) asymptote. We perform photoassociation spectroscopy in a dual-species magneto-optical trap (MOT) and detect the photoassociation resonances using trap-loss spectroscopy. By fitting the experimental data with the semi-classical LeRoy-Bernstein formula, we deduce the long-range molecular coefficient C6 and derive the empirical potential energy curve in the long-range region.

Keywords:  ultracold molecule      photoassociation      high-resolution spectroscopy      C6 coefficient
