Blackbody radiation shift of B${}^{+}$ clock transition

Abstract

A calculation of the blackbody radiation shift of the B${}^{+}$ clock transition is performed. The polarizabilities of the B${}^{+}$ $2s^2$ ${}^1$S${}^e$, $2s2p$ ${}^1$P${}^o$, and $2s2p$ ${}^3$P${}^o$ states are computed using the configuration interaction method with an underlying semi-empirical core potential. The recommended dipole polarizabilities are 9.64(3) $a_0^3$, 7.78(3) $a_0^3$ and 16.55(5) $a_0^3$ respectively. The derived frequency shift for the $2s^2$ ${}^1$S${}^e$ $\to$ $2s2p$ ${}^3$P${}_0^o$ transition at 300 K is 0.0160(5) Hz. The dipole polarizabilities agree with an earlier relativistic calculation (Safronova {\em et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 107} 143006 (2011)) to better than 0.2%. Quadrupole and octupole polarizabilities and non-adiabatic multipole polarizabilities are also reported.
