Measurement of the transverse Doppler shift using a stored relativistic7Li+ ion beam
1992
We have performed for the first time precision spectroscopy on a coasting fast7Li+ ion beam in a storage ring. The ion beam moving with 6.4% speed of light was first electron cooled and then merged with two counterpropagating laser beams acting on two different hyperfine transitions sharing a common upper level (λ-system). One laser was frequency locked to thea 3 127J2 hfs frequency component established as a secondary frequency standard at 514 nm. The second laser was tuned over theλ-resonance, which was recorded relative to127J2 hfs components. This experiment is sensitive to the time dilation in fast moving frames and will lead to new limits for the verification of special relatively. Th…
Precision measurement of two iodine lines at 585 nm and 549 nm
1993
The transition frequencies of thei-component of the R(99)15-1 and thew-component of the R(85)26-0 transition in the B-X system of molecular127I2 have been determined with an overall relative standard uncertainty of 1.3 · 10−10. For this purpose a commercial linear dye laser has been modified and stabilized to the corresponding iodine line. This dye laser serves as a transportable frequency standard which is compared with the wavelength standards of the PTB. The evaluation of an experiment for testing special relativity at the test storage ring (TSR) in Heidelberg is based on the precision of the reported interferometric wavelength comparison.
Beamline pulsing system for cyclotrons
1998
Abstract A beamline pulsing system for cyclotrons is presented. The function of this system is to modify the structure of a cyclotron ion beam guided to the desired research target by a beamline. In some in-beam experiments, an adjustment of the time structure of the beam is sometimes needed. This kind of situation occurs if, for example, the life time of the target material is longer than the period corresponding to the beam frequency. In this case, the frequency of the ion pulses hitting the target is 10–21 MHz depending on the frequency of the acceleration voltage. The adjustment of the ion beam pulse frequency is carried out by a beamline deflector. Deflection is achieved by feeding a h…
Hyperfine structure andg-factor measurements in ion traps
1992
We report about measurements on ground-state hyperfine splitting constants of stable Eu+ isotopes in radio frequency ion traps and experiments on the electronicg-factor of Ba+ in a Penning trap. From the precision of both measurements, which ranges between 3·10−6 and 5·10−7, we conclude that precise determination of the differential Bohr-Weisskopf effect in chains of isotopes will be possible in the near future.
Euclidean correlators at imaginary spatial momentum and their relation to the thermal photon emission rate
2018
The photon emission rate of a thermally equilibrated system is determined by the imaginary part of the in-medium retarded correlator of the electromagnetic current transverse to the spatial momentum of the photon. In a Lorentz-covariant theory, this correlator can be parametrized by a scalar function ${\cal G}_R(u\cdot {\cal K},{\cal K}^2)$, where $u$ is the fluid four-velocity and ${\cal K}$ corresponds to the momentum of the photon. We propose to compute the analytic continuation of ${\cal G}_R(u\cdot {\cal K},{\cal K}^2)$ at fixed, vanishing virtuality ${\cal K}^2$, to imaginary values of the first argument, $u\cdot {\cal K}= i\omega_n$. At these kinematics, the retarded correlator is eq…
The Collinear Fast Beam laser Spectroscopy (Cfbs) experiment at Triumf
2016
Abstract Laser spectroscopy experiments at radioactive ion beam facilities around the world investigate properties of exotic nuclei for scientific endeavours such as, but not limited to, the investigation of nuclear structure. Advancements in experimental sensitivity and performance are continuously needed in order to extend the reach of nuclei that can be measured. The collinear fast beam laser spectroscopy ( Cfbs ) setup at Triumf , coupled to an out-of-plane radio-frequency quadrupole Paul trap, enables measurements of some of the most fundamental nuclear properties for long-lived ground and isomeric states. The first comprehensive overview of the Cfbs experiment is provided along with d…
Transverse laser cooling of a radio-frequency bunched ion beam in the storage ring TSR
1996
Abstract We report on the observation of the indirect transverse laser cooling effect in a radio-frequency bunched beam of 7.3 MeV 9 Be + ions, stored in the Heidelberg Test Storage Ring and subject to direct longitudinal laser cooling. This bunched scheme offers particular advantages for producing ultracold beams with unprecedented phase-space densities.
Very high rotational frequencies and band termination in73Br
2000
Rotational bands in ${}^{73}\mathrm{Br}$ have been investigated up to spins of $I=65/2$ using the EUROBALL III spectrometer. One of the negative-parity bands displays the highest rotational frequency $\ensuremath{\Elzxh}\ensuremath{\omega}=1.85\mathrm{MeV}$ reported to date in nuclei with $Ag~25.$ At high frequencies, the experimental ${\mathcal{J}}^{(2)}$ dynamic moment of inertia for all bands decreases to very low values, ${\mathcal{J}}^{(2)}l~10{\ensuremath{\Elzxh}}^{2}{\mathrm{MeV}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}.$ The bands are described in the configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson--Strutinsky model. The calculations indicate that one of the negative-parity bands is observed up to its terminatin…
Hydrogen maser frequency shifts due to coherently excited Δm F =±1 transitions betweenF=1 levels of the atomic hydrogen ground state
1968
Hydrogen maser frequency shifts, caused by the multiple quantum transition nonlinearities of a resonant multiple frequency excitation of the atomic hydrogen four level ground state system have been investigated. The oscillation characteristics of hydrogen maser operation with simultaneously excited, low frequencyΔm F =±1 transitions between theF=1 states of the atomic hydrogen ground state have been analysed theoretically and explicit formulas for hydrogen maser frequency shifts and amplitude response have been derived for arbitrary maser oscillation amplitude and a small signal approximation for theΔm F =±1 “Zeeman” transitions. The comparison with experimentally observed hydrogen maser fr…
A radio frequency ring electrode cooler for low-energy ion beams
2004
We are investigating a new concept for ion confinement while buffer-gas-cooling low-energy ion beams. Instead of applying the well-established technique of Radio Frequency Quadrupoles (RFQs) where the ions are transversely confined by a quadratic-pseudo potential we are using a stack of thin ring electrodes supplied by an RF field (RF funnel) which creates a box-shaped potential well. In Monte Carlo simulations we have investigated the transmission behavior and cooling performance of the RF funnel. First experimental investigations with ion currents up to 20 nA revealed a promising transmission characteristic which qualifies the RF funnel as high-current cooler.
