Magneto-optical trapping of radioactive 82Rb atoms

Ralf Guckert, Xinxin Zhao, S. G. Crane +5 more

We report the successful trapping of $6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ ${}^{82}\mathrm{Rb}$ ${(t}_{1/2}=75\mathrm{s})$ atoms with a trap lifetime of $\ensuremath{\sim}30\mathrm{s}$ in a magneto-optical trap that is coupled to an off-line mass separator. Efficient sample introduction is achieved by implanting ${}^{82}\mathrm{Rb}$ ions into a small yttrium catcher foil located inside the trapping cell. Upon heating, the radioactive atoms are released from the foil and trapped without significant gas loading. This advancement makes a variety of high-precision electroweak interaction experiments possible, including the measurement of \ensuremath{\beta}-decay correlations associated with spin-polarized ${}^{82}\mathrm{Rb}$ nuclei.

Laser trapping of short-lived radioactive isotopes

S. J. Freedman, Brian K. Fujikawa, Zheng‐Tian Lu +3 more

Using sources of laser trapped radioactive atoms in beta-decay experiments could lead to more precise measurements of decay correlations that can be used to test the Standard Model of electroweak interactions. We discuss a recent demonstration of the feasibility of slowing and trapping significant numbers of accelerator produced short lived atoms.
