State-selective ionization of lead monofluoride

ORAL

Abstract

Lead monofluoride is an important molecule in the search for the electron electric dipole moment. We have developed a doubly resonant photoionization scheme for complete rotational state sensitivity of the ground state. Experimental details and spectroscopic constants are presented.
