We report measurements of the absolute energies of the hyperfine components of the $12s \ ^2S_{1/2}$ and $13s \ ^2S_{1/2}$ levels of atomic cesium, $^{133}$Cs. Using the frequency difference between these components, we determine the…

High-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy of neutron-rich actinium has been performed at TRIUMF's isotope separator and accelerator facility ISAC. By probing the $7s^2~^1S_0$ $\rightarrow$ $6d7p~^1P_1$ ionic transition, the hyperfine…

A different technique is used to study the radiative decay of a metastable state in multiply ionized atoms. With use of a unitary Penning trap to selectively capture Kr$^{17+}$ ions from an ion source at NIST, the decay of the 3d…

The lifetimes of the lower-lying vibrational states of ultralong-range strontium Rydberg molecules comprising one ground-state 5s2 1S0 atom and one Rydberg atom in the 5s38s 3S1 state are reported. The molecules are created in an ultracold…

We present a precise measurement of the lifetime of the 6p 2P_1/2 excited state of a single trapped ytterbium ion (Yb+). A time-correlated single-photon counting technique is used, where ultrafast pulses excite the ion and the emitted…

Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) in potassium atom is investigated within the strong coupling regime using photoelectron momentum imaging techniques. The kinetic energy distribution of the ionized electrons reveals the…

To test the predictive power of ab initio nuclear structure theory, the lifetime of the second 2+ state in neutron-rich 20O, tau(2+_2 ) = 150(+80-30) fs, and an estimate for the lifetime of the second 2+ state in 16C have been obtained, for…

A high-resolution $(p,t)$ experiment at $E_{p}$= 24 MeV was performed to populate low-spin states in the actinide nucleus ${}^{240}$Pu. The Q3D magnetic spectrograph of the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory (MLL) in Munich (Germany) was used to…

In order to test {\it ab-initio} calculations of light nuclei, we have remeasured lifetimes in $^{10}$Be using the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method (DSAM) following the $^{7}$Li($^7$Li,$\alpha$)$^{10}$Be reaction at 8 and 10 MeV. The new…

The prediction of nuclear half-lives is vital for understanding nuclear stability with significant applications in astrophysics, nuclear energy, and medical physics. This study investigates the $\alpha$-decay half-lives of 154 actinide…

The radiative lifetime of the $A$ $^2 \Pi_{1/2}$ (v=0) state in radium monofluoride (RaF) is measured to be 35(1) ns. The lifetime of this state and the related decay rate $\Gamma = 2.86(8) \times 10^7$ $s^{-1}$ are of relevance to the…

We report measurements of the $^{115}$In $7p_{1/2}$ and $7p_{3/2}$ scalar and tensor polarizabilities using two-step diode laser spectroscopy in an atomic beam. The scalar polarizabilities are one to two orders of magnitude larger than for…

We have performed large-scale configuration interaction (CI) calculations using CIV3for the lowest (in energy) 155 fine-structure levels of aluminum-like germanium ion. We have calculated the energy levels, lifetimes, oscillator strengths,…

We experimentally demonstrate the cesium electric quadrupole transition from the 6S1/2 ground state to the 7D3/2,5/2 excited state through a virtual level by using a single laser at 767 nm. The excited state energy level population is…

The intrinsic radiative lifetimes of the $5d^{10}6s$ $^{2}\text{S}_{1/2}$ and $5d^{9}6s^{2}$ $^{2}\text{D}_{3/2}$ bound excited states in the platinum anion $\text{Pt}^{-}$ have been studied at cryogenic temperatures at the Double…

We report measurements of the Stark shift of the cesium $6s \: ^2S_{3/2} \rightarrow 7p \: ^2P_{3/2} $ and the $6s \: ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow 7p \: ^2P_{1/2} $ transitions at $\lambda = 456$ nm and 459 nm, respectively, in an atomic beam.…

The photoionization cross-sections of two even-parity excited states, $5d6d ^3D_1$ and $6s7d ^3D_{2}$, of atomic Ba at the ionization-laser wavelength of 556.6 nm were measured. We found that the total cross-section depends on the relative…

We report on the experimental realization of a conservative optical lattice for cold atoms with sub-wavelength spatial structure. The potential is based on the nonlinear optical response of three-level atoms in laser-dressed dark states,…

Neutron-rich nuclei were populated in a relativistic fission of 238U. Gamma-rays with energies of 135 keV and 184 keV were associated with two isomeric states in 121Pd and 117Ru. Half-lives of 0.63(5) microseconds and 2.0(3) micrisecondss…

We report lifetime measurements of the metastable $6\mathrm{d}\, ^{2}\mathrm{D}_{5/2}$ and $6\mathrm{d}\, ^{2}\mathrm{D}_{3/2}$ states of Ra$^+$. The measured lifetimes, $\tau_{5} = $ 303.8(1.5) ms and $\tau_{3} = $ 642(9) ms, are important…
