Experimental realization of a rotating radio-frequency ion trap for precision metrology
Sun Yool Park, Anzhou Wang, Kia Boon Ng +7
We discuss the experimental realization of the rotating radio-frequency (rrf) trap, proposed by Hasegawa and Bollinger [Phys. Rev. A 72, 043403 (2005)]. Compared to a traditional l…

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…

Slowing YbF molecules using radiation pressure
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, G. Peng, S. Li +7
We report radiation pressure slowing of YbF molecules to low velocity. In YbF, laser slowing is hindered by leaks out of the optical cycle attributed to low-lying metastable electr…
