Atomic parity non-conservation: the francium anapole project of the FrPNC collaboration at TRIUMF Academic Article

abstract

• We present a method for measuring the nuclear anapole in a string of francium isotopes. The anapole is a parity non-conserving electromagnetic moment that enables parity-forbidden transitions between ground state hyperfine levels of an atom. The experiment is run by the FrPNC collaboration and relies on a beam of artificially-produced francium from the ISAC facility at TRIUMF. 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
