Using recent high-precision measurements of electric dipole matrix elements of atomic cesium, we make an improved determination of the scalar ($\alpha$) and vector ($\beta$) polarizabilities of the cesium $6s \ ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow 7s \…
Experimental results and high-level quantum chemical ab initio calculations of the static polarizability $\alpha_0=\alpha(\omega=0)$ of the cadmium ${^1S_0}$ state are still in marked disagreement. Here we analyze this discrepancy by using…
We report measurements of the ratio of the scalar polarizability $\alpha$ to the vector polarizability $\beta$ for the $6s ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow 7s ^2S_{1/2}$ transition in atomic cesium. These measurements are motivated by a discrepancy…
We report a new precision measurement of the dc Stark shift of the $6s\hspace{1mm} ^2S_{1/2} \rightarrow 7s\hspace{1mm}^2S_{1/2}$ transition in atomic cesium-133. Our result is 0.72246 (29) $\textrm{Hz}(\textrm{V}/\textrm{cm})^{-2}$. This…
The ratio of the off-diagonal hyperfine amplitude to the tensor transition polarizability (Mhf/beta) for the 6S-7S transition in cesium has been measured. The value of beta=27.024(43)(expt)(67)(theory)a_0^3 is then obtained using an…
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.…
We report measurements of the absorption strength of the cesium $6s \: ^2S_{1/2} \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…
The electric dipole strength distribution in $^{40}$Ca between 5 and 25 MeV has been determined at RCNP, Osaka, from proton inelastic scattering experiments at very forward angles. Combined with total photoabsorption data at higher…
Using the inherent timing stability of pulses from a mode-locked laser, we have precisely measured the cesium $6P_{3/2}$ excited state lifetime. An initial pump pulse excites cesium atoms in two counter-propagating atomic beams to the…
Electric-dipole matrix elements for 6p-nd, n=5, 6, 7 transitions in cesium are calculated using a relativistic all-order method. The resulting matrix elements are used to evaluate 5d lifetimes and 6p polarizabilities. The data are compared…
We measure the lifetime of the cesium $5^2D_{5/2}$ state using a time-resolved single-photon-counting method. We excite atoms in a hot vapor cell via an electric quadrupole transition at a wavelength of $685\,\mathrm{nm}$ and record the…
We have measured the 6s - 7p_{1/2,3/2} transition probabilities in atomic cesium using a direct absorption technique. We use our result plus other previously measured transition rates to derive an accurate value of the vector transition…
We report a measurement of the dynamical polarizability of dysprosium atoms in their electronic ground state at the optical wavelength of 1064 nm, which is of particular interest for laser trapping experiments. Our method is based on…
We apply near-field matter-wave interferometry to determine the absolute scalar polarizability of the fullerenes C$_{60}$ and C$_{70}$. A key feature of our experiment is the combination of good transmission and high spatial resolution,…

Extracting electroweak observables from experiments on atomic parity violation (APV) using the Stark interference technique requires accurate knowledge of transition polarizabilities. In cesium, the focus of our paper, the…
We have completed a new measurement of the Stark shift in 115In within the 410 nm 5P1/2- 6S1/2 transition. We measure the Stark shift constant to be kS= - 122.92(33)kHz/(kV/cm)^2, corresponding to a difference in the 6S1/2 and 5P1/2 state…
