Tarbutt We produce YbF molecules with a density of 10^{18} m^{-3} using laser ablation inside a cryogenically cooled cell filled with a helium buffer gas. Using absorption imaging and absorption spectroscopy we study the formation, diffusion, thermalization, and optical pumping of the molecules. The absor... [Phys. Rev.
