in K decay: new physics with opposite helicity

Melissa Anholm, J. A. Behr, D. G. Melconian +5

By extending our analysis and simulations of our K -decay data set to allow the asymmetry with respect to nuclear spin to vary with energy , we have gained s…

Isotope Shifts in the 7s8s Transition of Francium: Measurements and Comparison to \textit{ab initio} Theory

M. R. Kalita, J. A. Behr, A. Gorelov +10

We observe the electric-dipole forbidden transition in the francium isotopes Fr and Fr using a two-photon excitation scheme. We collect the at…

Precision measurement of the -asymmetry in spin-polarized decay

B. Fenker, A. Gorelov, D. Melconian +13

Using TRIUMF's neutral atom trap, TRINAT, for nuclear decay, we have measured the asymmetry with respect to the initial nuclear spin in to be $A_β=-0.5707…

Precision measurement of the nuclear polarization in laser-cooled, optically pumped

Benjamin Fenker, John A. Behr, Dan Melconian +18

We report a measurement of the nuclear polarization of laser-cooled, optically-pumped atoms which will allow us to precisely measure angular correlation parameter…

Progress towards precision measurements of beta-decay correlation parameters using atom and ion traps

D. Melconian, R. S. Behling, B. Fenker +9

The correlations of the decay products following the beta decay of nuclei have a long history of providing a low-energy probe of the fundamental symmetries of our universe. Over ha…
