    Efficient inter-trap transfer of cold francium atoms

    We report on the status of the FrPNC experiments and summarize our plans for measurements of parity non-conservation (PNC) in a sample of cold francium. The FrPNC collaboration has commissioned a laser cooling...

    TRINAT: measuring β-decay correlations with laser-trapped atoms

    TRIUMF’s neutral atom trap for β decay (TRINAT) has been used to measure the most accurate β-ν correlation. Plans include improving that measurement, and also carrying out a full program of spin-polarized β decay...

    Ion detection from beta decay and two-body decay experiments with laser-cooled atoms

    Localized and cold samples of atoms produced with laser cooling and trap** techniques are a powerful tool for nuclear β-decay experiments. Recently we have concentrated on measurements of the momentum of the...

    Rationalising the design of polymeric thermoresponsive biomaterials

    We investigated the cell adhesion and growth of a series of thermoresponsive copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and N-tert-butylacrylamide (NtBA) above their lower critical solubility temperatures (LCS...

    Beta–neutrino correlation experiments on laser trapped 38mK, 37K

    Laser trap** and cooling techniques are now being applied to the study of nuclear β-decay at several labs. A magneto-optical trap (MOT) provides a localized source of atoms suspended in space, so the low-ene...

    Laser-polarized muonic3He and a measurement of the induced pseudoscalar coupling

    We describe the first measurement of the spin dependence of the reaction: µ+3He→3H+νµ. This spin dependence is quite sensitive to the induced pseudoscalar form factor,F P, a piece of the weak charged nuclear cur...
