Progress towards laser cooling of BH molecules

This thesis investigates the suitability of BH molecules for laser cooling and describes progress towards the laser cooling of this molecule. We produce a molecular beam of BH and measure the branching ratios for the excited electronic state, A^{1}\Pi(v_{0}=0), to decay to the various vibrational st...
