Lifetimes of the Metastable and States of Ra
Haoran Li, Huaxu Dan, Mingyu Fan +9
We report lifetime measurements of the metastable and states of Ra. The measured lifetimes, …
Laser Cooling and Hyperfine Measurements of Radium-225 Ions
Roy Ready, Haoran Li, Spencer Kofford +10
Ra ions (nuclear spin ) have transitions that are first-order insensitive to magnetic field noise, which is advantageous for optical clocks and quantum informati…
Laser cooling and trapping of Ra
M. Fan, Roy A. Ready, H. Li +7
We report laser cooling and trapping of Ra ions. This was realized via two-step photoionization loading of radium into an ion trap. A robust source for Ra atoms…
Radium Ion Optical Clock
C. A. Holliman, M. Fan, A. Contractor +2
We report the first operation of a Ra optical clock, a promising high-performance clock candidate. The clock uses a single trapped Ra ion and operates on the $7…
Direct measurement of the transition frequency in Ra
C. A. Holliman, M. Fan, A. Contractor +2
We report a direct measurement of the electric dipole transition frequency in Ra. With a single laser-cooled radium ion we…
Optical Mass Spectrometry of Cold and
M. Fan, C. A. Holliman, X. Shi +5
We present an all-optical mass spectrometry technique to identify trapped ions. The new method uses laser-cooled ions to determine the mass of a cotrapped dark ion with a sub-dalto…
