We show that the measured intrinsic octupole moments of $^{220}\mathrm{Rn}$, $^{224}\mathrm{Ra}$, and $^{226}\mathrm{Ra}$ constrain the intrinsic Schiff moments of $^{225}\mathrm{Ra}$, $^{221}\mathrm{Rn}$, $^{223}\mathrm{Rn}$, $^{223}\mathrm{Fr}$, $^{225}\mathrm{Ra}$, and $^{229}\mathrm{Pa}$. The result is a dramatically reduced uncertainty in intrinsic Schiff moments. Direct measurements of octupole moments in odd nuclei will reduce the uncertainty even more. The only significant source of nuclear-physics error in the laboratory Schiff moments will then be the intrinsic matrix elements of the time-reversal noninvariant interaction produced by $CP$-violating fundamental physics. Those matri…
Testing effects of Lorentz invariance violation in the propagation of astroparticles with the Pierre Auger Observatory
2021
The successful installation, commissioning, and operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory would not have been possible without the strong commitment and effort from the technical and administrative staff in Malargüe. We are very grateful to the following agencies and organizations for financial support: Argentina — Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica; Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica (ANPCyT); Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET); Gobierno de la Provincia de Mendoza; Municipalidad de Malargüe; NDM Holdings and Valle Las Leñas; in gratitude for their continuing cooperation over land access; Australia — the Australian Research Council; Be…
