2 Outline Atomic clocks and fundamental constants Rb vs Cs in atomic fountain clocks Some optical clock comparisons Constraints to variation of constants with time and gravitation ti potential ti Prospects 2
3 Principle of atomic clocks Goal: deliver a signal with stable and universal frequency Bohr frequencies of unperturbed atoms are expected to be stable and universal Building blocks of an atomic clock macroscopic oscillator output correction atoms interrogation ε : fractional frequency offset Accuracy: overall uncertainty on ε y(t) : fractional frequency fluctuations ti Stability: statistical properties of y(t), characterized by the Allan variance σ 2 y2 (τ) Can be done with microwave or optical frequencies, with neutral atoms, ions or molecules 3
4 Atomic Transitions and Fundamental Constants Atomic transitions and fundamental constants Hyperfine transition n Electronic transition Molecular vibration Molecular rotation Actual measurements: ratio of frequencies Electronic transitions test α alone (electroweak interaction) Hyperfine and molecular transitions bring sensitivity to the strong interaction 4
5 Atomic Transitions and Fundamental Constants m p, g (i) are not fundamental parameters of the Standard Model m p, g (i), can be related to fundamental parameters of the Standard Model (m q /Λ QCD, m s /Λ QCD, m q =(m u +m d )/2) It is often assumed that : δ ( m ( m / Λ / Λ QCD ) ) δ ( m = ( m V. V. Flambaum et al., PRD 69, (2004) s s QCD q q / Λ / Λ QCD QCD ) ) Recent, accurate calculations have been done for some relevant trans t ons transitions V. V. Flambaum and A. F. Tedesco, PRC 73, (2006) Any atomic transition (i) has a sensitivity to one particular combination of only 3 parameters (α, m e /Λ QCD, m q /Λ QCD ) Alternatively, l one can use (α, µ=m e /m p, m q /m p ) 5
6 Sensitivity coefficients K a K q K e Rb hfs Cs hfs K α, K e : accuracy at the percent level or better K q : accuracy? H opt Yb + opt Hg + opt Dy comb PR C73, (2006) Note: if a variation is detected, these coefficients provide a way to have a clear evidence from experiments with multiple clocks Dysprosium : RF transition between 2 accidentally degenerated electronic states of different parity Dzuba et al., Phys. Rev. A 68, (2003) In some diatomic molecules: cancellation between hyperfine and rotational energies also leads to large (2-3 orders of magnitude enhancement) Flambaum, PRA 73, (2006) Highly charged ions Flambaum, PRL 105, (2010) Thorium 229 : nuclear transition in the optical domain (163nm) between 2 nearly degenerated nuclear states E.
