RUI: High-Precision Atomic Structure Measurements and Atomic Tests of Electroweak Physics

这个项目包括一组原子实验，这些实验将为基于原子物理学的宇称不守恒测试提供关键信息。将进行铊原子对激光的吸收和光旋的精确测量，以检验理论计算的结果。我们还将探讨一种新的旋光方案，作为提高PNC测量精度的可能手段。该计划包括在这个本科机构的强大的本科生参与。

This project consists of a set of experiments in atoms that will provide information critical to atomic-physics-based tests of parity nonconservation. Precise measurements of absorption and optical rotation of laser light by thallium atoms will be carried out to test the results of theoretical calculations. A new optical rotation scheme will also be explored as a possible means of enhancing the accuracy of PNC measurements. The program includes a strong undergraduate involvement at this undergraduate institution.
