An elementary method to determine the critical mass of a sphere of fissile material based on a separation of neutron transport and nuclear reaction processes
Steven K. Lamoreaux
A simplified method to calculate the critical mass of a fissile material sphere is presented. This is a purely pedagogical study, in part to elucidate the historical evolution of c…
Surface and chemical effects on Hg spin polarization relaxation in optically pumped magnetometers
Steven K. Lamoreaux
Quantum spin magnetometry using optically pumped Hg has been successfully used in many fundamental physics experiments. A serious problem that has not been resolved is the…
Rotational-hyperfine cooling of TlF in a cryogenic beam
Olivier Grasdijk, David DeMille, Jakob Kastelic +5
The aim of CeNTREX (Cold Molecule Nuclear Time-Reversal Experiment) is to search for time-reversal symmetry violation in the thallium nucleus, by measuring the Schiff moment of $^{…
Comment on "Surface nuclear spin relaxation of Hg," [J. Chem. Phys. 120, 1511 (2004)]
S. K. Lamoreaux
The possible use of optically pumped Hg nuclear spin magnetometry for fundamental physics studies, particularly in the search for electric dipole moments, remains of great…
