Energies and lifetimes of the 9p and 10p excited states in atomic francium
P. Lassègues, A. Ajayakumar, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +29
We present the first measurement of 9p 2P1/2,3/2 and 10p 2P1/2,3/2 excited levels absolute wavenumbers and radiative lifetime in francium. We used the Collinear Resonance Ionizatio…
Towards Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of Radioactive Molecules Utilizing In-trap Produced Molecular Ion Beam
W. C. Mei, S. J. Chen, X. F. Yang +14
Molecules containing short-lived isotopes, namely radioactive molecules, are among the most promising candidates for probing new physics beyond the Standard Model, although their p…
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…
Radiative lifetime of the A 2Î 1/2 state in RaF with relevance to laser cooling
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. G. Wilkins, P. Lassègues +38
The radiative lifetime of the (v=0) state in radium monofluoride (RaF) is measured to be 35(1) ns. The lifetime of this state and the related decay rate $Î= 2.86…
