Measurements of Hadronic and Transition Form Factors at BESIII
2019
Motivated by the need of experimental input to improve the Standard Model prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aµ, the BESIII Collaboration started a dedicated program to measure hadronic cross sections as well as transition form factors (TFF) with high accuracy. The large data sets acquired by the BESIII Collaboration allow to exploit initial state radiation in order to study hadron production over a wide energy range, as well as two-photon collisions to study the momentum dependence of TFFs in the space like regime. The current status and ongoing investigations in both endeavors are discussed.
New physics constraints from atomic parity violation in Cs133
2021
Our improved calculation of the nuclear spin-independent parity violating electric dipole transition amplitude ($E{1}_{\mathrm{PV}}$) for $6s{^{2}S}_{1/2}\ensuremath{-}7s{^{2}S}_{1/2}$ in $^{133}\mathrm{Cs}$ in combination with the most accurate (0.3%) measurement of this quantity yields a new value for the nuclear weak charge ${Q}_{W}=\ensuremath{-}73.71(26{)}_{ex}(23{)}_{th}$ against the Standard Model (SM) prediction ${Q}_{W}^{\mathrm{SM}}=\ensuremath{-}73.23(1)$. The advances in our calculation of $E{1}_{\mathrm{PV}}$ have been achieved by using a variant of the perturbed relativistic coupled-cluster theory, which treats the contributions of the core, valence, and excited states to $E{1…
Exciton fine structure splitting of single InGaAs self-assembled quantum dots
2004
Abstract We show how the resonant absorption of the ground state neutral exciton confined in a single InGaAs self-assembled quantum dot can be directly observed in an optical transmission experiment. A spectrum of the differential transmitted intensity is obtained by sweeping the exciton energy into resonance with laser photons exploiting the voltage induced Stark-shift. We describe the details of this experimental technique and some example results which exploit the ∼1 μeV spectral resolution. In addition to the fine structure splitting of the neutral exciton and an upper bound on the homogeneous linewidth at 4.2 K , we also determine the transition electric dipole moment.
The leading hadronic contribution to (g-2) of the muon: The chiral behavior using the mixed representation method
2015
We extend our analysis of the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using the mixed representation method to study its chiral behavior. We present results derived from local-conserved two-point lattice vector correlation functions, computed on a subset of light two-flavor ensembles made available to us through the CLS effort with pion masses as low as 190 MeV. The data is analyzed also using the more standard four-momentum method. Both methods are systematically compared as the calculations approach the physical point.
nEDM experiment at PSI : data-taking strategy and sensitivity of the dataset
2018
We report on the strategy used to optimize the sensitivity of our search for a neutron electric dipole moment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Measurements were made upon ultracold neutrons stored within a single chamber at the heart of our apparatus. A mercury cohabiting magnetometer together with an array of cesium magnetometers were used to monitor the magnetic field, which was controlled and shaped by a series of precision field coils. In addition to details of the setup itself, we describe the chosen path to realize an appropriate balance between achieving the highest statistical sensitivity alongside the necessary control on systematic effects. The resulting irreducible sensitivity is …
A magnetic source imaging camera
2016
We describe a magnetic source imaging camera (MSIC) allowing a direct dynamic visualization of the two-dimensional spatial distribution of the individual components Bx(x,y), By(x,y) and Bz(x,y) of a magnetic field. The field patterns allow—in principle— a reconstruction of the distribution of sources that produce the field B→ by inverse problem analysis. We compare experimentally recorded point-spread functions, i.e., field patterns produced by point-like magnetic dipoles of different orientations with anticipated field patterns. Currently, the MSIC can resolve fields of ≈10 pT (1 s measurement time) range in a field of view up to ∼20 × 20 mm2. The device has a large range of possible appli…
Alkali-vapor magnetic resonance driven by fictitious radiofrequency fields
2014
We demonstrate an all-optical 133Cs scalar magnetometer, operating in nonzero magnetic field, in which the magnetic resonance is driven by an effective oscillating magnetic field provided by the AC Stark shift of an intensity-modulated laser beam. We achieve a projected shot-noise-limited sensitivity of 1.7fT/Hz and measure a technical noise floor of 40fT/Hz. These results are essentially identical to a coil-driven scalar magnetometer using the same setup. This all-optical scheme offers advantages over traditional coil-driven magnetometers for use in arrays and in magnetically sensitive fundamental physics experiments, e.g., searches for a permanent electric dipole moment of the neutron.
Spin and Orbital Magnetic Moments of FePt Thin Films
2006
The magnetic moments of disordered and ordered L10 Fe50Pt50 films were investigated using magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and spin polarized full relativistic Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker (SPRKKR) calculations. The measurements showed that the spin magnetic moments of Fe in both ordered and disordered films were similar with a lower value than that obtained by SPRKKR calculations. Both films however showed larger orbital moments of Fe compared to the calculations. It is suggested that the spin magnetic moment of Fe in FePt thin films was insensitive to L10 ordering.
Magnetic dipole with a flexible tail as a self-propelling microdevice.
2012
By numerical simulations, it is illustrated that a magnetic dipole with a flexible tail behaves as a swimmer in AC magnetic fields. The behavior of the swimmer on long time scales is analyzed and it is shown that due to the flexibility of the tail two kinds of torques arise, the first is responsible for the orientation of the swimmer perpendicularly to the AC field and the second drags the filament in the direction of the rotating field. Due to this, circular trajectories of the swimmer are possible; however, these are unstable. The self-propulsion velocity of this swimmer is higher than the velocities of other magnetic microdevices for comparable values of the magnetoelastic number.
Polarization phenomena in a laser coherently pumped by a linearly polarized field
1998
The field intensity and polarization behaviour of an optically pumped laser is investigated in different operating conditions. For a linearly polarized pump field, a strong gain anisotropy is induced which favours generation of light with a polarization parallel to that of the pump field. Thus gain anisotropy can be counterbalanced by cavity-loss anisotropy only at low pumping field intensities, and the interplay between both types of anisotropy leads to polarization switching phenomena. In contrast to the case of the incoherently pumped laser, the decay rate for the magnetic dipole induced on the J = 1 level plays a minor role in determining the polarization dynamics. The influence of a lo…
