Cover Story: In the beta decay of 6He to form 6Li+, anomalies in the electron–antineutrino angular correlation may signal the existence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Additional atomic electrons may also boil off and thus upset the angular correlation. To correct for this, we calculate the charge state fractions of 6Li++ and 6Li3+. We use projection operators to isolate the fractions of 6Li++ and 6Li3+ in the positive energy region E > 0 where both charge states contribute simultaneously. The results show that 6Li2+ (single ionisation) strongly dominates over 6Li3+ (double ionisation), thereby reducing disagreements with experiment by nearly an order of magnitude. View this paper

5 March 2023

The use of atom interferometers in inertial systems holds the promise of improvement of several orders of magnitude in sensitivity over sensors using current technology such as micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) devices or ring laser gyroscopes (RLGs)....

4 March 2023

Radiative recombination (RR) plasma rate coefficients are often applied to estimate electron densities and temperatures under quite different plasma conditions. Despite their frequent use, however, these rate coefficients are available only for selec...

4 March 2023

We measure double differential cross sections (DDCS) of electrons emitted from CH4 molecules in collisions with 250 keV protons. The projectile ions are obtained from a 400 kV electron cyclotron resonance-based ion accelerator (ECRIA). We study the e...

Dramatically sharp resonances manifesting stable negative ion formation characterize Regge pole-calculated low-energy electron elastic total cross sections (TCSs) of heavy multi-electron systems. The novelty of the Regge pole analysis is in the extra...

We study the dynamical evolution of quantum Fisher information (QFI) and von Neumann entropy (VNE) for a three-level atomic system interacting with the single-mode coherent field in the presence of the Stark effect and intrinsic decoherence (ID) with...
