Spectroscopy and laser-cooling of zinc — •Lukas Möller, Felix Waldherr, David Röser, and Simon Stellmer — Universität Bonn, Germany

Laser-cooling and trapping of neutral atoms is a widely used technique in contemporary atomic physics and has been demonstrated for many elements of the periodic table. The element zinc, an alkaline-earth-like metal, is a promising candidate for a new optical clock. We report on the development of a DUV cw-laser source at 213.9 nm, magneto-optical trapping of zinc and our work towards narrow-line cooling and isotope shift spectroscopy on the narrow cooling transition of zinc.
