TRIμP-a New Facility to Investigate Fundamental Interactions with Optically Trapped Radioactive Atoms

摘要

At the Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut (KVI) in Groningen, NL, a new facility (TRIμP) is under development. it aims for producing, slowing down and trapping of radioactive isotopes in order to perform accurate measure- ments on fundamental symmetries and interactions. A spectrum of ra- dioactive nuclids will be produced in direct, inverse kinematics of fragmen- tation reactions using heavy ion beams from the superconducting AGOR cyclotron. The research programme pursued by the KVI group includes precision studies of nuclear β-decays through β-neutrno (recoil nucleus) momentum correlations in weak decays and searches for permanent elec- tric dipole moments in heavy atomic systems.
