Using cold atoms to measure neutrino mass
We propose a -decay experiment based on a sample of ultracold atomic tritium. These initial conditions enable detection of the helium ion in coincidence with the . We construct a two-dimensional fit incorporating both the shape of the -spectrum and the direct reconstruction of the neutrino mass peak....
Measurement of the Instantaneous Velocity of a Brownian Particle
Brownian motion of particles impacts many branches of science. We report on the Brownian motion of micronsized beads of glass held in air in an optical tweezer, over a wide range of pressures, and measure the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle. Our results provide direct verification of the...
