Atomic parity non-conservation: The francium anapole project of the FrPNC collaboration at TRIUMF Article uri icon

abstract

  • We present a method for measuring the nuclear anapole in a string of francium isotopes. The anapole is a parity non-conserving electromagnetic moment that enables parity-forbidden transitions between ground state hyperfine levels of an atom. The experiment is run by the FrPNC collaboration and relies on a beam of artificially-produced francium from the ISAC facility at TRIUMF. © 2013 Springer Science Business Media Dordrecht.
