A VUV light source for enhanced production of metastable krypton and xenon beams
Patrick R. Stollenwerk, Kevin G. Bailey, Daniel Koch +4
We demonstrate excitation of metastable krypton and xenon beams using a vacuum ultraviolet lamp and directly compare the performance of this method to metastable excitation based o…
High Resolution Spectroscopy of Neutral Yb Atoms in a Solid Ne Matrix
R. Lambo, C. -Y. Xu, S. T. Pratt +11
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the absorption and emission spectra of Yb atoms in a solid Ne matrix at a resolution of 0.025 nm. Five absorption bands were ide…
Setting a Limit on Anthropogenic Sources of Atmospheric 81Kr through Atom Trap Trace Analysis
J. C. Zappala, K. Bailey, W. Jiang +4
We place a 2.5% limit on the anthropogenic contribution to the modern abundance of 81Kr/Kr in the atmosphere at the 90% confidence level. Due to its simple production and transport…
Measurement of the Hyperfine Quenching Rate of the Clock Transition in Yb
C. -Y. Xu, J. Singh, J. C. Zappala +8
We report the first experimental determination of the hyperfine quenching rate of the transition in Yb with nuclear spin $…
