Prospects for Measuring Parity Nonconservation in Hydrogenic Ions Using High-energy Accelerators

چکیده
Possibilities of precision weak-interaction measurements in relativistic hydrogenic ions are considered. It is shown that using high-energy ion storage rings (RHIC, SPS, LHC), and utilizing relativistic Doppler tuning and laser cooling, it is possible to achieve sensitivity necessary for testing physics beyond the Standard Model.

Parity Nonconservation in Relativistic Hydrogenic Ions
Hydrogenic systems are attractive objects for precision measurements of parity nonconservation (PNC) since their simple atomic structure allows for accurate theoretical calculations necessary for relating the observed effects to the standard model. Various possibilities for PNC experiments with hydrogenic ions have been discussed in the literature. Most of the early work dealt with the PNC cont...
متن کاملProspects for parity-nonconservation experiments with highly charged heavy ions.
We discuss the prospects for parity non-conservation experiments with highly charged heavy ions. Energy levels and parity mixing for heavy ions with two to five electrons are calculated. We investigate two-photontransitions and the possibility to observe interference effects between weakmatrix elements and Stark matrix elements for periodic electric field configurations.
متن کاملRadiative Corrections to Parity Nonconserving Transitions in Atoms
Abstract The matrix element of a bound electron interacting with the nucleus through exchange of a Z boson is studied for the gauge invariant case of 2s1/2 − 2p1/2 transitions in hydrogenic ions. The QED radiative correction to the matrix element, which is −α/2π in lowest order, is calculated to all orders in Zα using exact propagators. Previous calculations of the first-order binding correctio...
متن کاملAn exacting transition probability measurement - a direct test of atomic many-body theories
A new protocol for measuring the branching fraction of hydrogenic atoms with only statistically limited uncertainty is proposed and demonstrated for the decay of the P3/2 level of the barium ion, with precision below 0.5%. Heavy hydrogenic atoms like the barium ion are test beds for fundamental physics such as atomic parity violation and they also hold the key to understanding nucleo-synthesis ...
متن کاملParity nonconservation in dielectronic recombination of multiply charged ions
We discuss a parity nonconserving (PNC) asymmetry in the cross section of dielectronic recombination of polarized electrons on multiply charged ions with Z & 40. This effect is strongly enhanced for close doubly-excited states of opposite parity in the intermediate compound ion. Such states are known for He-like ions. However, these levels have large energy and large radiative widths which hamp...
