A Brief History of Francium at Stony Brook
1991-94: Construction of 1st production and trapping apparatus.
1995: Produced and Trapped Francium in a MOT.
1996-2000: Laser spectroscopy of Francium (8S1/2, 7P1/2,7D5/2,7D3/2, hyperfine anomaly).
2000-2002: construction of new production and trapping apparatus.
10,000 atom Fr MOT

New Apparatus for Producing and Trapping Francium
Objective: Trap 106 Fr atoms
Parity Non-Conservation experiments
Nuclear Anapole measurements
Strategy:
• Increase Production
• Optimize Optical Trapping efficiency
• Improve Neutralizer efficiency

Optical Trapping Efficiency1. Capture Velocity of MOT
Idea: • Accelerate MOT atoms with laser.
• Measure at what velocity atoms cannot be recaptured by MOT.

2. Number of Bounces (Nbounces)
Atoms rethermalize with cell walls on each bounce.
NMOTNbounces.
Nbounces is determined by exit holes, quality of dry-film coating.
