Characterizing the Optical Trapping of Rare Isotopes by Monte Carlo Simulation
D. H. Potterveld, S. A. Fromm, K. G. Bailey +13
Optical trapping techniques are an efficient way to probe limited quantities of rare isotopes. In order to achieve the highest possible measurement precision, it is critical to opt…
Isotope Shifts in the 7s8s Transition of Francium: Measurements and Comparison to \textit{ab initio} Theory
M. R. Kalita, J. A. Behr, A. Gorelov +10
We observe the electric-dipole forbidden transition in the francium isotopes Fr and Fr using a two-photon excitation scheme. We collect the at…
Improved limit on the Ra electric dipole moment
Michael Bishof, Richard H. Parker, Kevin G. Bailey +10
Background: Octupole-deformed nuclei, such as that of Ra, are expected to amplify observable atomic electric dipole moments (EDMs) that arise from time-reversal and parity-…
First Measurement of the Atomic Electric Dipole Moment of Ra
R. H. Parker, M. R. Dietrich, M. R. Kalita +10
The radioactive radium-225 (Ra) atom is a favorable case to search for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM). Due to its strong nuclear octupole deformation and large at…
Efficient, Tightly-Confined Trapping of 226Ra
R. H. Parker, M. R. Dietrich, K. Bailey +10
We demonstrate a technique for transferring Ra atoms from a 3-dimensional magneto-optical-trap (MOT) into a standing wave optical dipole trap (ODT) in an adjacent chamber.…
