grasp is a software package in Fortran 95, adapted to run in parallel under MPI, for research in atomic physics. The basic premise is that, given a wave function, any observed atomic property can be computed. Thus, the first step is always to determi...

  • Nikolay Minkov

30 August 2023

The last decade has seen a rapid growth in our understanding of the microscopic origins of shape coexistence, assisted by the new data provided by the modern radioactive ion beam facilities built worldwide. Islands of the nuclear chart in which shape...

We study the Rabi flopping of the population between the ground and excited 2p states of the hydrogen atom, induced by intense short laser pulses of different shapes and of carrier frequency ω=0.375 a.u. which resonantly couples the two states,...

We consider the implications of the recent measurement of the W-boson mass MW=80,433.5±9.4MeV/c2 for atomic parity violation experiments. We show that the change in MW shifts the Standard Model prediction for the 133Cs nuclear weak charge to Q...

A program library for computing pure spin-angular coefficients for any one- and scalar two-particle operators is presented. The method used is based on the combination of the second quantization and quasi-spin techniques with the angular momentum the...

  • Mark A. Kasevich and
  • Vladimir S. Malinovsky

10 February 2023

The robustness of an atomic fountain interferometer with respect to variations in the initial velocity of the atoms and deviations from the optimal pulse amplitude is examined. We numerically simulate the dynamics of an interferometer in momentum spa...

The latest published version of GRASP (General-purpose Relativistic Atomic Structure Package), i.e., GRASP2018, retains a few suboptimal subroutines/algorithms, which reflect the limited memory and file storage of computers available in the 1980s. He...

1 April 2023

We use the PyNeb 1.1.16 Python package to evaluate the atomic datasets available for the spectral modeling of [Fe ii] and [Fe iii], which list level energies, A-values, and effective collision strengths. Most datasets are reconstructed from the sourc...

  • Giacomo Roati

27 July 2023

We investigate the role of vortices in the decay of persistent current states of annular atomic superfluids by solving numerically the Gross–Pitaevskii equation, and we directly compare our results with the 6Li experiment at LENS data. We theor...
