摘要:

利用精密原子光谱学对粒子物理学标准模型进行的许多强有力检验以及对新物理的搜寻,都受到我们对核性质认识不足的困扰。理想情况下,这类性质可以从对最敏感且理论上最易理解的可观测量的精密测量中推导出来,这些可观测量常见于类氢体系。尽管针对原子核电学性质的此类测量十分丰富,但针对磁学性质的测量却很稀少,而且精密实验结果仅限于最轻的原子核。在此,我们聚焦于$^9$Be,它提供了一种独特的可能性:利用Penning阱中可用于高精密光谱学的不同电荷态之间的比较,来检验通常被核结构所掩盖的理论计算。特别地,我们首次对类氢$^9$Be$^{3+}$中$1s$超精细和Zeeman结构进行了高精密光谱测量。我们以500 ppm的不确定度测定了其有效Zemach半径,并以十亿分之0.6(ppb)的不确定度测定了其裸核磁矩——这些不确定度在氢以外是无可匹敌的。此外,我们将其与在三电子电荷态$^9$Be$^{+}$上进行的测量进行比较,这首次使得在ppb水平上检验核磁矩的多电子抗磁屏蔽效应计算成为可能。我们还检验了用于计算超精细分裂的量子电动力学(QED)方法。我们的结果作为一个关键基准,对于在不同电子组态之间转移核磁性质的高精密结果至关重要。

英文摘要:

Many powerful tests of the Standard Model of particle physics and searches for new physics with precision atomic spectroscopy are plagued by our lack of knowledge of nuclear properties. Ideally, such properties may be derived from precise measurements of the most sensitive and theoretically best-understood observables, often found in hydrogen-like systems. While these measurements are abundant for the electric properties of nuclei, they are scarce for the magnetic properties, and precise experimental results are limited to the lightest of nuclei. Here, we focus on $^9$Be which offers the unique possibility to utilize comparisons between different charge states available for high-precision spectroscopy in Penning traps to test theoretical calculations typically obscured by nuclear structure. In particular, we perform the first high-precision spectroscopy of the $1s$ hyperfine and Zeeman structure in hydrogen-like $^9$Be$^{3+}$. We determine its effective Zemach radius with an uncertainty of $500$ ppm, and its bare nuclear magnetic moment with an uncertainty of $0.6$ parts-per-billion (ppb) - uncertainties unmatched beyond hydrogen. Moreover, we compare to measurements conducted on the three-electron charge state $^9$Be$^{+}$, which, for the first time, enables testing the calculation of multi-electron diamagnetic shielding effects of the nuclear magnetic moment at the ppb level. In addition, we test quantum electrodynamics (QED) methods used for the calculation of the hyperfine splitting. Our results serve as a crucial benchmark essential for transferring high-precision results of nuclear magnetic properties across different electronic configurations.
