Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138~Received 10 October 2000; published 14 February 2001!We demonstrate production of cold lead monoxide ~PbO! molecules by laser ablation in a cryogenic cellfilled with helium buffer gas and cooled by a cryostat to a temperature of 4 K. The molecules are probed bylaser-induced fluorescence excited in the X
