Towards measuring nuclear-spin-dependent and isotopic-chain atomic parity violation in Ytterbium
We discuss experiments aimed at measurements of atomic parity nonconservation (PNC) effects in the 6s 1S0 → 5d6s 3D1 transition (408 nm) in atomic Ytterbium (Z=70). According to theoretical predictions, the PNC-induced E1 amplitude of this transition is ∼ 100 times larger than the analogous amplitude in Cs. Such an experiment will determine differences in PNC effects between different hyperfine...
متن کاملParity violation in nuclear systems
Parity violation in nuclear systems is reviewed. A few ingredients relevant to the description of the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon force in terms of meson exchanges are reminded. Effects in nuclear systems are then considered. They involve pp scattering, some complex nuclei and the deuteron system. PACS. 24.80.+y Nuclear tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries
متن کاملA high-performance Fortran code to calculate spin- and parity-dependent nuclear level densities
A high-performance Fortran code is developed to calculate the spinand parity-dependent shell model nuclear level densities. The algorithm is based on the extension ofmethods of statistical spectroscopy and implies exact calculation of the first and secondHamiltonianmoments for different configurations at fixed spin and parity. The proton–neutron formalism is used. We have applied the method for...
متن کاملSpontaneous Parity Violation in a Quantum Spin Chain
Abstract. We report on a spontaneous breakdown of parity in the ground state of a spin Hamiltonian involving nearest-neighbor interactions. This occurs for a one-dimensional model where spins transform under the gauge field representation of QCD, the eight-dimensional adjoint representation of SU(3). The ground state spontaneously violates parity and is two-fold degenerate. In addition, the mod...
متن کاملPerspective: Atomic Parity Violation and the Nuclear Anapole Moment
(February 9, 2008) Until 40 years ago, physicists had assumed that the fundamental forces of nature did not distinguish between left and right. That is, it was believed that the laws of physics in a mirror-symmetric universe would be the same as in ours. Then in 1957, following a suggestion by Lee and Yang [1], experimenters discovered that the weak force, which is responsible for beta decay in...
