Precision measurement of the Ca nuclear magnetic moment

R. K. Hanley, D. T. C. Allcock, T. P. Harty +2

We report precision measurements of the nuclear magnetic moment of \textsuperscript{43}Ca\textsuperscript{+}, made by microwave spectroscopy of the 4s S $\left|F=4, M=0…

Coulomb anti-blockade in a Rydberg dressed gas

A. D. Bounds, N. C. Jackson, R. K. Hanley +3

We perform a comprehensive investigation of the coupling between a Rydberg-dressed atomic gas and an ultra-cold plasma. Using simultaneous time-resolved measurements of both neutra…

A Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap

A. D. Bounds, N. C. Jackson, R. K. Hanley +4

We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By off-resonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high…

Quantitative simulation of a magneto-optical trap operating near the photon recoil limit

Ryan K. Hanley, Paul Huillery, Niamh C. Keegan +3

We present a quantitative model for magneto-optical traps operating on narrow transitions, where the transition linewidth and the recoil shift are comparable. We combine a quantum…

Probing interactions of thermal Sr Rydberg atoms using simultaneous optical and ion detection

Ryan K. Hanley, Alistair D. Bounds, Paul Huillery +5

We demonstrate a method for probing interaction effects in a thermal beam of strontium atoms using simultaneous measurements of Rydberg EIT and spontaneously created ions or electr…

Absolute absorption on the potassium D lines:theory and experiment

Ryan K. Hanley, Philip D. Gregory, Ifan G. Hughes +1

We present a detailed study of the absolute Doppler-broadened absorption of a probe beam scanned across the potassium D lines in a thermal vapour. Spectra using a weak probe were m…
