We present detailed calculations on resonances in rotationally and spin-orbit inelastic scattering of OH ($X,^2Pi, j=3/2, F_1, f$) radicals with He and Ne atoms. We calculate new emph{ab initio} potential energy surfaces for OH-He, and the cross sections derived from these surfaces compare favorably with the recent crossed beam scattering experiment of Kirste emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. A textbf{82}, 042717 (2010)]. We identify both shape and Feshbach resonances in the integral and differential state-to-state scattering cross sections, and we discuss the prospects for experimentally observing scattering resonances using Stark decelerated beams of OH radicals.

We use accurate quantum mechanical calculations to analyze the effects of parallel electric and magnetic fields on collision dynamics of OH(2Pi) molecules. It is demonstrated that spin relaxation in 3He-OH collisions at temperatures below 0.01 K can be effectively suppressed by moderate electric fields of order 10 kV/cm. We show that electric fields can be used to manipulate Feshbach resonances in collisions of cold molecules. Our results can be verified in experiments with OH molecules in Stark decelerated molecular beams and electromagnetic traps.
The rotationally resolved spectrum of the B$^2Pi-$X$^2Pi$ electronic origin band transition of $^{13}$C$_6$H is presented. The spectrum is recorded using cavity ring-down spectroscopy in combination with supersonic plasma jets by discharging a $^{13} $C$_2$H$_2$/He/Ar gas mixture. A detailed analysis of more than a hundred fully-resolved transitions allows for an accurate determination of the spectroscopic parameters for both the ground and electronically excited state of $^{13}$C$_6$H.
We report on the observation of magnetic dipole allowed transitions in the well-characterized $A,^2Sigma^+ - X,^2Pi$ band system of the OH radical. A Stark decelerator in combination with microwave Rabi spectroscopy is used to control the populations in selected hyperfine levels of both $Lambda$-doublet components of the $X,^2Pi_{3/2},v=0,J=3/2$ ground state. Theoretical calculations presented in this paper predict that the magnetic dipole transitions in the $ u=1 leftarrow u=0$ band are weaker than the electric dipole transitions by a factor of $2.58times 10^3$ only, i.e., much less than commonly believed. Our experimental data confirm this prediction.
We present an experimental study on the rotational inelastic scattering of OH ($X^2Pi_{3/2}, J=3/2, f$) radicals with He and D$_2$ at collision energies between 100 and 500 cm$^{-1}$ in a crossed beam experiment. The OH radicals are state selected an d velocity tuned using a Stark decelerator. Relative parity-resolved state-to-state inelastic scattering cross sections are accurately determined. These experiments complement recent low-energy collision studies between trapped OH radicals and beams of He and D$_2$ that are sensitive to the total (elastic and inelastic) cross sections (Sawyer emph{et al.}, emph{Phys. Rev. Lett.} textbf{2008}, emph{101}, 203203), but for which the measured cross sections could not be reproduced by theoretical calculations (Pavlovic emph{et al.}, emph{J. Phys. Chem. A} textbf{2009}, emph{113}, 14670). For the OH-He system, our experiments validate the inelastic cross sections determined from rigorous quantum calculations.
We apply near-threshold laser photodetachment to characterize the rotational quantum level distribution of OH$^-$ ions stored in the cryogenic ion-beam storage ring, DESIREE, at Stockholm University. We find that the stored ions relax to a rotational temperature of 13.4$pm$0.2 K with 94.9$pm$0.3 % of the ions in the rotational ground state. This is consistent with the storage ring temperature of 13.5$pm$0.5 K as measured with eight silicon diodes, but in contrast to all earlier studies in cryogenic traps and rings where the rotational temperatures were always much higher than those of the storage devices at their lowest temperatures. Furthermore, we actively modify the rotational distribution through selective photodetachment to produce an OH$^-$ beam where 99.1$pm$0.1 % of approximately one million stored ions are in the $J$=0 rotational ground state.
