In this study, we investigated the hyperfine structure of 43 spectral lines of atomic thulium. We analyzed Fourier-transform spectra in the wavelength range from 700 nm to 2250 nm, which corresponds to the wavenumber range from 14300 cm-1…

Electronic factors for the field and mass isotope shifts in the $6p\ ^{2}P_{3/2} \to 7s\ ^{2}S_{1/2}$ (535 nm), $6p\ ^{2}P_{1/2} \to 6d\ ^{2}D_{3/2}$ (277 nm) and $6p\ ^{2}P_{1/2} \to 7s\ ^{2}S_{1/2}$ (378~nm) transitions in the neutral…
This paper examines the problem of testing whether a discrete time-series vector contains a periodic signal or is merely noise. To do this we examine the stochastic behaviour of the maximum intensity of the observed time-series vector and…
We present measurements of the transition radiation (TR) spectrum produced in an irregular radiator at different electron momenta. The data are compared to simulations of TR from a regular radiator.
This paper indicates that the sensitivity and accuracy of an infrared radiometer for emissivity measurements depends not only on its design and the measurement method, but also on the spurious radiation. This spurious radiation must be…
The structure of exotic nuclei provides valuable tests for state-of-the-art nuclear theory. In particular electromagnetic transition rates are more sensitive to aspects of nuclear forces and many-body physics than excitation energies alone.…
We measure the spectrum of tellurium-130 in the vicinity of the 461~nm ${}^1\text{S}_0-{}^{1}\text{P}_1$ cycling transition in neutral strontium, a popular element for atomic clocks, quantum information, and quantum-degenerate gases. The…
We study the transition probabilities of a two-point measurement on a quantum system, initially prepared in a thermal state. We find two independent constraints on the difference between transition probabilities when the system is prepared…
