Towards parity violation measurements using ultra-cold SrF molecules — •Corine Meinema, Joost van den Berg, Sreekanth Mathavan, Tom Nijbroek, Klaus Jungmann, Lorenz Willmann, and Steven Hoekstra — University of Groningen, KVI, The Netherlands

We present our progress towards the creation of an ultra cold sample of SrF molecules. These molecules combine a high sensitivity for the detection of parity violation with favourable Stark shifts and good properties for laser cooling. By combining a supersonic expansion, a novel travelling wave stark decelerator and laser cooling we aim to create ultra cold molecules that we will use to test the Standard Model of particle physics.
