Radiative lifetime of the state in RaF with relevance to laser cooling

M Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, SG Wilkins… - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
The radiative lifetime of the A Π 1/2 2 (v= 0) state in radium monofluoride (RaF) is measured
to be 35 (1) ns. The lifetime of this state and the related decay rate Γ= 2.86 (8)× 10 7 s− 1 are …

Precision spectroscopy of fast, hot, exotic isotopes using machine-learning-assisted event-by-event Doppler correction

SM Udrescu, DA Torres, RF Garcia Ruiz - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
We propose an experimental scheme for performing sensitive, high-precision laser
spectroscopy studies on fast exotic isotopes. By inducing a stepwise resonant ionization of …
