Abstract
Sr<sup>35</sup>Cl is a candidate system for laser cooling. The spectrum and transition characteristics are very important for constructing laser cooling schemes. In this paper, the spectral properties are analyzed by using the Davidson's modified internal contraction multi-reference interaction (ic-MRCI + <i>Q</i>) method, in combination with the relativistic effective core pseudopotential group (aug-cc-pV5Z-PP) as the base group for the calculation of the Sr atom and the related consistent quintile aug-cc-pV5Z as the Cl atom. The potential energy curves and dipole moments of 14 low excited electron states of Sr<sup>35</sup>Cl molecule are optimized. In order to obtain more accurate spectral parameters, nuclear valence electron correlation and relativistic effect correction are introduced into the calculation. Using the LEVEL 8.0 program to fit the modified potential energy curves of 5 bound states, the spectral properties such as spectral constants, vibration energy levels, and molecular constants of the corresponding electron states are obtained. The results show that there is a double potential well in <inline-formula><tex-math id="EF11315477">\begin{document}${\rm B}^2 \Sigma^+$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF11315477.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF11315477.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> state and the cross phenomena are avoided in <inline-formula><tex-math id="EF113154721">\begin{document}${\rm A}^2 \Pi$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154721.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154721.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><tex-math id="EF113154722">\begin{document}${\rm C}^2 \Pi$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154722.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154722.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><tex-math id="EF11315478">\begin{document}${\rm B}^2 \Sigma^+$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF11315478.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF11315478.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><tex-math id="EF11315479">\begin{document}$3^2 \Sigma^+$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF11315479.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF11315479.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> respectively. The spectrum and molecular constants are in good agreement with the recently obtained theoretical calculations and experimental values except the adiabatic excitation energy. It may be due to the fact that the effect of the interaction of electronic states is taken into account. The transition properties such as Frank-Condon factor and radiation lifetime are also given. It can be seen that the 0-0 band of <inline-formula><tex-math id="EF113154710">\begin{document}${\rm B}^2 \Sigma^+$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154710.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154710.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula>−<inline-formula><tex-math id="EF113154711">\begin{document}${\rm X}^2 \Sigma^+$\end{document}</tex-math><alternatives><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154711.jpg"/><graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="3-20181770-e-wan-revised_EF113154711.png"/></alternatives></inline-formula> transition has the largest Franck-Condon factor of 0.861288, and the diagonalization is obvious, which is the condition for laser cooling.

These precise spectral transition characteristics may provide theoretical support for further constructing the laser cooling scheme of Sr<sup>35</sup>Cl molecule.
