Prediction of quantum many-body chaos in protactinium atom

A. V. Viatkina, M. G. Kozlov, V. V. Flambaum

Energy level spectrum of protactinium atom (Pa, Z=91) is simulated with a CI calculation. Levels belonging to the separate manifolds of a given total angular momentum and parity $J…

Combining configuration interaction with perturbation theory for atoms with large number of valence electrons

V. A. Dzuba, J. Berengut, C. Harabati +1

A version of the configuration interaction (CI) method is developed which treats highly excited many-electron basis states perturbatively, so that their inclusion does not affect t…

Limits on gravitational Einstein Equivalence Principle violation from monitoring atomic clock frequencies during a year

V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum

Sun's gravitation potential at earth varies during a year due to varying Earth-Sun distance. Comparing the results of very accurate measurements of atomic clock transitions perform…

Search for the effect of massive bodies on atomic spectra and constraints on Yukawa-type interactions of scalar particles

N. Leefer, A. Gerhardus, D. Budker +2

We propose a new method to search for hypothetical scalar particles that have feeble interactions with Standard-Model particles. In the presence of massive bodies, these interactio…
