We have performed calculations of the size of the frequency shift induced by a static electric field on the clock transition frequencies of the hyperfine splitting in Yb, Rb, Cs, Ba, and Hg. The calculations are used to find the frequency shifts due to blackbody radiation which are needed for accurate frequency measurements and improvements of the limits on variation of the fine structure const...

We report the first observation of a non-dipole transition in an ultra-cold atomic vapor. We excite the 3P-4P electric quadrupole (E2) transition in Na confined in a Magneto-Optical Trap(MOT), and demonstrate its application to high-resolution spectroscopy by making the first measurement of the hyperfine structure of the 4P1/2 level and extracting the magnetic dipole constant A = 30.6 ± 0.1 MHz...

We describe the first DNS-based measurement of the complete mean response of a turbulent channel flow to small external disturbances. Space-time impulsive perturbations are applied at one channel wall, and the linear response describes their mean effect on the flow field as a function of spatial and temporal separations. The turbulent response is shown to differ from the response a laminar flow...

ar X iv :p hy si cs /0 60 70 59 v 1 7 Ju l 2 00 6 Abstract This paper presents theoretical results indicating that newly discovered nondiffracting beams we call X waves, can propagate in a confined space (wave guide) with specific quantized temporal frequencies. These results could have applications in nondispersive transmission of acoustic, electromagnetic (microwaves) and optical energy throu...

We present a theoretical study of the spectra produced by optical/radio-frequency double resonance devices, in which resonant linearly polarized light is used in the optical pumping and detection processes. We extend previous work by presenting algebraic results which are valid for atomic states with arbitrary angular momenta, arbitrary rf intensities, and arbitrary geometries. The only restric...
