Author(s)
Ananya Sitaram, Peter Elgee, Gretchen K. Campbell, Daniel Barker, Nikolai Klimov, Stephen Eckel
We demonstrate a compact magneto-optical trap (MOT) of alkaline-earth atoms using a nanofabricated diffraction grating chip. A single input laser beam, resonant with the broad 1S0 to 1P1 transition of strontium, forms the MOT in combination with three

Nonlinearity and ionization in Xe: Experiment-based calibration of a numerical model

October 12, 2020
Author(s)
Joseph Tolliver, Sina Zahedpour, Jared Wahlstrand, H M. Milchberg, Miroslav Kolesik
A model for the optical response of Xenon, including the nonlinear polarization and ionization rate, is calibrated with the help of space-and-time resolved measurements. Utilizing an idea of universal functional form for the response as a function of the

Enhanced transport of spin-orbit coupled Bose gases in disordered potentials

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Yuchen Yue, Ian Spielman, Carlos S? de Melo
Anderson localization is single particle localization phenomena in disordered media that is accompanied by an absence of diffusion. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) describes an interaction between a particle's spin and its momentum that directly affects its

Development of NIST Atomic Databases and OnlineTools

Author(s)
Yuri Ralchenko, Alexander Kramida
Over the last 25 years, the atomic standard reference databases and online tools developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provide users around the world with the highest-quality data on various atomic parameters (e.g., level

Measurement of the 2P1/2-2P3/2 fine structure splitting in fluorine-like Kr, W, Re, Os and Ir

Jacob Taylor, Gadi Afek, Sunil Bhave, Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David Moore, Robinjeet Singh, Cindy Regal, Benjamin M. Brubaker, Andrew Geraci, Jonathan D. Cripe, Sohitri Ghosh, Jack Harris, Anson Hook, Jonathan Kunjummen, Rafael Lang, Li Tongcang, Tongyan Lin, Zhen Liu, Joseph Lykken, Lorenzo Magrini, Jack Manley, Nobuyuki Matsumoto, Alissa Monte, Fernando Monteiro, Thomas Purdy, C. J. Riedel, Swati Singh, Kanupriya Sinha, Juehang Qin, Dalziel Wilson, Yue Zhao
Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matter. Searching for the extremely weak signals produced by this dark matter

Measurements of the Linear Polarization of Satellite Transitions from Li- and Be- like Ar Ions

Non-thermal electron distributions, such as beams of electrons, are found in many laboratory and astrophysical plasma sources and can produce anisotropic and polarized emission. Theories used to model the emission require sublevel specific analysis, which

Determination of the isotopic change in nuclear charge radius from extreme-ultraviolet spectroscopy of highly charged ions of Xe
