Nuclear Charge Radii of Sr Isotopes: Reevaluation based on Transition Frequency Measurements in the manifold in Sr

J. Palmes, K. König, B. K. Sahoo +10

High-precision quasi-simultaneous collinear and anticollinear laser spectroscopy was performed on the (D1), $5s\,^2S_{1/2}\rightarrow 5p\,^…

Fresnel zone plates for reconfigurable atomic waveguides

A. M. Pike, A. Dorne, L. Pickering +7

Fresnel zone plates (FZPs), with patterns of m resolution, allow the formation of clean, diffraction-limited foci -- but have a static phase profile. Spatial light modulators…

Laser spectroscopy and CP-violation sensitivity of actinium monofluoride

M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, M. Au, A. Kyuberis +39

The apparent invariance of the strong nuclear force under combined charge conjugation and parity (CP) remains an open question in modern physics. Precision experiments with heavy a…

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…

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…

Loading of a large Yb MOT on the S-P transition

Hector Letellier, Álvaro Mitchell Galvão de Melo, Anaïs Dorne +1

We present an experimental setup to laser cool and trap a large number of Ytterbium atoms. Our design uses an oven with an array of microtubes for efficient collimation of the atom…
