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…
Nuclear charge radii of aluminium isotopes at the proton drip line
Alex Brinson, Brooke Rickey, Pierre Arthuis +35
Understanding the evolution of nuclear size away from stability remains a central challenge in nuclear physics. In neutron-deficient systems, charge radii can be highly sensitive t…
Ab initio calculation of symmetry-breaking observables
A Belley, B. Romeo, J. Engel +8
Symmetry-violating observables such as the nuclear anapole and Schiff moments provide sensitive probes of the fundamental symmetries of nature and physics beyond the Standard Model…
Puzzling Isotonic Odd-Even Staggering of Charge Radii in Deformed Rare Earth Nuclei
Endre Takacs, Hunter Staiger, Steven A. Blundell +16
The nuclear charge radius is a fundamental observable that encodes key aspects of nuclear structure, deformation, and pairing. Isotonic (constant neutron number) systematics in the…
Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Highly Charged Lu and Yb Ions for Nuclear Charge Radius Determination
Hunter Staiger, Endre Takacs, Steven A. Blundell +16
We report a high-precision determination of the natural-abundance-averaged nuclear charge-radius difference between Yb and Lu using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectroscopy of highly…
Motivations for Early High-Profile FRIB Experiments
B. Alex Brown, Alexandra Gade, S. Ragnar Stroberg +39
This white paper is the result of a collaboration by those that attended a workshop at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), organized by the FRIB Theory Alliance (FRIB-TA),…
