Research in Professor Momose's group is focused on
elucidating properties and dynamics of extremely cold molecules by
high-resolution spectroscopy. Molecules at very cold temperatures are
expected to behave quite differently from those at high temperatures. For
example, a significant enhancement of reaction cross section is expected
for some systems below 10 K because of the tunneling process and resonance
effect. However, little is known about the intrinsic properties of cold
molecules because of the difficulty in making free cold molecules.
