Overview

abstract

• The radioactive element francium is of great interest in many laboratories because, as an alkali, it is the heaviest atom in which the atomic properties can presently be calculated to better than 1%25. The electron-nucleus interactions in heavy atoms are stronger than in lighter alkalis and are more sensitive to weak interaction effects in nuclei, such as anapole moments, electric dipole moments, and other parity- violating effects. The ability to trap large numbers of atoms, >lo 6 , would make possible precision measurements. © 2003, Taylor %26amp; Francis Group, LLC.
