Trapping of Neutral Mercury Atoms and Prospects for Optical Lattice Clocks

H. Hachisu, K. Miyagishi, S. G. Porsev +5

We report a vapor-cell magneto-optical trapping of Hg isotopes on the ${}^1{S}_0-{}^3{P}_1$ intercombination transition. Six abundant isotopes, including four bosons and two fermions,…
