Nuclear spin independent Interaction:

• Coherent over all

nucleons.

• Measurement increases

as Z3 Nuclear spin dependent interaction:

• Only from valence nucleons.
• Measurement increases as Z8/3
• Main contribution from anapole

moment for heavy nuclei.

1.5 σ agreement with the Standard Model

Derevianko

Implications: extra Z bosons (Z’)

Specific example: Z’χ in SO(10) GUT result implies: LHC discovery reach: 5 TeV full luminosity

Accuracy is affected by HV-amplifier noise, fluctuations of stray fields, and laser drifts → improved for the next phase

Using molecules to get at NSD-PNC

Diatomic molecules systematically have close rotation+hyperfine levels of opposite parity--B-field tuning can give ΔE ~ 10-11 eV.

FrPNC

Commissioned in 2012 the trapping apparatus at TRIUMF. NEXT (December 2014 run): Commission Science chamber: transfer Fr from capture chamber to science chamber. Measure ground state HF splitting directly with microwaves and observe Stark mixing. TO DO list: Measurement of PNC in the hyperfine transition (spin dependent) of the ground state and extract anapole moments of a chain of Fr isotopes. Measure of Optical PNC (spin independent) and extract the weak charge.

Spectroscopy studies of francium

Ideal cold sample of trapped atoms (no Doppler broadening) Quantitative comparisons to ab initio calculations. Energy levels Excited state lifetimes (transition matrix elements) Hyperfine splittings (wavefunctions at the nucleus) Nuclear structure studies with atomic spectroscopy (magnetization).

Method

1.- Define handedness of the apparatus by the coordinate system 2.- Create superposition to interfere and enhance PNC signal:

3.- Measure rate of transition through resonance fluorescence. 4.- Change handedness of apparatus 5.- Repeat.

Precision tests of the weak interaction in atoms, they measure the weak charge and can give limits on the nucleon nucleon weak couplings. Experiments with trapped and cooled species starting (Fr, Ra+) and proceeding (Yb, Dy, molecules). Many isotopes. FrPNC will benefit from the 108 demonstrated at TRIUMF, FRIB is looking very interesting.
