Measuring the stability of fundamental constants with a network of clocks
G. Barontini, L. Blackburn, V. Boyer +41
The detection of variations of fundamental constants of the Standard Model would provide us with compelling evidence of new physics, and could lift the veil on the nature of dark m…
Search for transient variations of the fine structure constant and dark matter using fiber-linked optical atomic clocks
B. M. Roberts, P. Delva, A. Al-Masoudi +51
We search for transient variations of the fine structure constant using data from a European network of fiber-linked optical atomic clocks. By searching for coherent variations in…
Measurement of differential polarizabilities at a mid-infrared wavelength in
C F A Baynham, E A Curtis, R M Godun +10
An atom exposed to an electric field will experience Stark shifts of its internal energy levels, proportional to their polarizabilities. In optical frequency metrology, the Stark s…
A low maintenance Sr optical lattice clock
Ian R. Hill, Richard Hobson, William Bowden +4
We describe the Sr optical lattice clock apparatus at NPL with particular emphasis on techniques used to increase reliability and minimise the human requirement in its operation. C…
Zeeman Slowers for Strontium based on Permanent Magnets
Ian R. Hill, Yuri B. Ovchinnikov, Elizabeth M. Bridge +2
We present the design, construction, and characterisation of longitudinal- and transverse-field Zeeman slowers, based on arrays of permanent magnets, for slowing thermal beams of a…
Shaking-induced dynamics of cold atoms in magnetic traps
I. Llorente García, B. Darquié, C. D. J. Sinclair +4
We describe an experiment in which cold rubidium atoms, confined in an elongated magnetic trap, are excited by transverse oscillation of the trap centre. The temperature after exci…
