Progress on research in the field of molecules at cold and ultracold temperatures is reported
in this review. It covers extensively the experimental methods to produce, detect and …

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The …

We present a new method taking explicitly into account the coupling between rotation and
bending of a nonlinear triatomic molecule colliding with an atom. This approach based on a …

We extend our recent theoretical work on the bending relaxation of H2O in collisions with H2
by including the three water modes of vibration coupled with rotation, as well as the rotation …

The recent interstellar detections of ArH+ and HeH+ have increased the interest in noble
molecules. In this work, we develop potential energy surfaces (PESs) at a high level of …

We present cross sections for rotational, vibrational, and fine-structure transitions in He–CaH
(2 Σ) collisions at cold and ultracold temperatures calculated using the ab initio potential …

Buffer gas cooling of molecules to cold and ultracold temperatures is a promising technique
for realizing a host of scientific and technological opportunities. Unfortunately, experiments …

Context. An accurate analysis of the physical-chemical conditions in the regions of the
interstellar medium in which C 3 is observed requires knowing the collisional rate …

ABSTRACT A full-dimensional rigorous quantum mechanical treatment of non-reactive
inelastic scattering of an open-shell diatom [eg, NO (2Π)] with a structureless and spinless …

We have calculated elastic and state-resolved inelastic cross sections for cold and ultracold
collisions in the Rb (S 1)+ OH (Π 3∕ 2 2) system, including fine-structure and hyperfine …
