Solving the CH riddle: the fundamental role of spin to explain metastable anionic methane
Alejandro Ramírez-Solís, Jacques Viguè, Guillermo Hinojosa +1
When atoms or molecules exist in the form of stable negative ions, they play a crucial role in the gas phase chemistry. Determining the existence of such an ion, its internal energ…
Measurement of the Aharonov-Casher geometric phase with a separated-arm atom interferometer
Jonathan Gillot, Steven Lepoutre, Alexandre Gauguet +2
In this letter, we report a measurement of the Aharonov-Casher (AC) geometric phase with our lithium atom interferometer. The AC phase appears when a particle carrying a magnetic d…
Optical pumping of a lithium atomic beam for atom interferometry
Jonathan Gillot, Alexandre Gauguet, Matthias Büchner +1
We apply optical pumping to prepare the lithium beam of our atom interferometer in a single hyperfine-Zeeman sublevel: we use two components of the D1-line for pumping the 7Li atom…
Quantum Physics Exploring Gravity in the Outer Solar System: The Sagas Project
P. Wolf, Ch. J. Bordé, A. Clairon +52
We summarise the scientific and technological aspects of the SAGAS (Search for Anomalous Gravitation using Atomic Sensors) project, submitted to ESA in June 2007 in response to the…
The BMV experiment : a novel apparatus to study the propagation of light in a transverse magnetic field
Remy Battesti, Benoit Pinto Da Souza, Sebastien Batut +11
In this paper, we describe in detail the BMV (Biréfringence Magnétique du Vide) experiment, a novel apparatus to study the propagation of light in a transverse magnetic field. It i…
First measurements of the index of refraction of gases for lithium atomic waves
Marion Jacquey, Matthias Büchner, Gérard Trénec +1
We report here the first measurements of the index of refraction of gases for lithium waves. Using an atom interferometer, we have measured the real and imaginary part of the index…
