-nuclear-recoil correlation from He decay in a laser trap

P. Müller, Y. Bagdasarova, R. Hong +13

We report the first precise measurement of a -recoil correlation from a radioactive noble gas () confined via a magneto-optical trap. The measurement is motivated by…

Surface Processing and Discharge-Conditioning of High Voltage Electrodes for the Ra EDM Experiment

Roy A. Ready, Gordon Arrowsmith-Kron, Kevin G. Bailey +21

The Ra EDM experiment uses a pair of high voltage electrodes to search for the atomic electric dipole moment of Ra. We use identical, plane-parallel electrodes with a prima…

Spectroscopic Study and Lifetime Measurement of the state of radium

D. W. Booth, T. Rabga, R. Ready +7

We report a method for the precision measurement of the oscillator strengths and the branching ratios of the decay channels of the state in Ra. This method e…

Characterizing the Optical Trapping of Rare Isotopes by Monte Carlo Simulation

D. H. Potterveld, S. A. Fromm, K. G. Bailey +13

Optical trapping techniques are an efficient way to probe limited quantities of rare isotopes. In order to achieve the highest possible measurement precision, it is critical to opt…

Improved limit on the Ra electric dipole moment

Michael Bishof, Richard H. Parker, Kevin G. Bailey +10

Background: Octupole-deformed nuclei, such as that of Ra, are expected to amplify observable atomic electric dipole moments (EDMs) that arise from time-reversal and parity-…

Measurement of the Hyperfine Quenching Rate of the Clock Transition in Yb

C. -Y. Xu, J. Singh, J. C. Zappala +8

We report the first experimental determination of the hyperfine quenching rate of the transition in Yb with nuclear spin $…
