The Efimov effect can be induced by means of an external deformed one-body field that effectively reduces the allowed spatial dimensions to less than three. To understand this new mechanism, conceptually and practically, we employ a formulation using non-integer dimension, which is equivalent strength oscillator field. most clearly appears when crucial two-body systems are unbound in three, but...

We consider the implications of recent measurement W-boson mass MW=80,433.5±9.4MeV/c2 for atomic parity violation experiments. show that change in MW shifts Standard Model prediction 133Cs nuclear weak charge to QW(133Cs)=?73.11(1), i.e., by 8.5? from its current value, and proton 2.7%. The shift QW(133Cs) ameliorates tension between existing determinations value motivates more accurate theory ...

Contributions from the Breit interaction in atomic structure calculations account for 1.3sigma of the previously reported 2. 5sigma deviation from the standard model in the 133Cs weak charge [S. C. Bennett and C. E. Wieman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2484 (1999)]. The updated corrections for the neutron distribution reduce the discrepancy further to 1.0sigma. The updated value of the weak charge is Q...

After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011, concentrations of cesium isotopes (133Cs, 134Cs, and 137Cs) were measured in zooplankton collected in the Pacific off the east coast of Japan from May 2012 to February 2015. The time series of the data exhibited sporadic 137Cs concentration peaks in zooplankton. In addition, the atom ratio of 137Cs/133Cs in zooplankton was ...

The use of molten salts as novel green solvents which may replace conventional media in chemical processes implies a good knowledge of their micro­ scopic structure [1]. As known, high temperature NMR spectroscopy has been applied successfully to molten salts. This technique permits to obtain information about the structure and dynamics of the local environment of most of the nuclei in salt mel...

We report tests of local position invariance and the variation of fundamental constants from measurements of the frequency ratio of the 282-nm 199Hg+ optical clock transition to the ground state hyperfine splitting in 133Cs. Analysis of the frequency ratio of the two clocks, extending over 6 yr at NIST, is used to place a limit on its fractional variation of <5.8x10(-6) per change in normalized...

We have remeasured the absolute 1S-2S transition frequency nu(H) in atomic hydrogen. A comparison with the result of the previous measurement performed in 1999 sets a limit of (-29+/-57) Hz for the drift of nu(H) with respect to the ground state hyperfine splitting nu(Cs) in 133Cs. Combining this result with the recently published optical transition frequency in 199Hg+ against nu(Cs) and a micr...

Tests of local position invariance (LPI) made by comparing the relative redshift of atomic clocks based on different atoms have been carried out for a variety of pairs of atomic species. In most cases, several absolute frequency measurements per year are used to look for an annual signal, resulting in tests that can span on order of a decade. By using the output of continuously running clocks, ...

We provide a comprehensive comparison of a coupled channel calculation, the asymptotic bound-state model (ABM), and the multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT). Quantitative results for 6Li -133Cs are presented and compared to previously measured 6Li -133Cs Feshbach resonances (FRs) [Repp et al., Phys. Rev. A 87, 010701(R) (2013)]. We demonstrate how the accuracy of the ABM can be stepwise im...
