Probing the electroweak structure of nuclei with rare atoms and molecules
Silviu-Marian Udrescu, Antoine Belley, Jason D. Holt +2
Precision experiments of atoms and molecules have become a powerful probe of the electroweak structure of atomic nuclei and of physics beyond the Standard Model. We review how the…
Non-destructive cavity readout of molecules for precision measurements
Alejandro Salas-Estrada, Silviu-Marian Udrescu, Geoffrey Zheng +6
We propose a non-destructive method to measure the population of molecules in a selected rotational-hyperfine state by coupling them to a high-finesse optical cavity. In contrast t…
Ionization potential of radium monofluoride
S. G. Wilkins, H. A. Perrett, S. M. Udrescu +43
The ionization potential (IP) of radium monofluoride (RaF) was measured to be 4.969(2)[10] eV, revealing a relativistic enhancement in the series of alkaline earth monofluorides. T…
Electroweak Nuclear Properties from Single Molecular Ions in a Penning Trap
Jonas Karthein, Silviu-Marian Udrescu, Scott B. Moroch +10
We present a novel technique to probe electroweak nuclear properties by measuring parity violation (PV) in single molecular ions in a Penning trap. The trap's strong magnetic field…
Accurate theoretical determination of the ionization potentials of CaF, SrF, and BaF
A. A. Kyuberis, L. F. Pasteka, E. Eliav +6
We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the ionization potentials of the MF (M= Ca, Sr, Ba) molecules using the state-of-the-art relativistic coupled cluster approach with…
Pinning down electron correlations in RaF via spectroscopy of excited states and high-accuracy relativistic quantum chemistry
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. G. Wilkins, L. V. Skripnikov +53
We report the spectroscopy of the 14 lowest excited electronic states in the radioactive molecule radium monofluoride (RaF). The observed excitation energies are compared with full…
