Laser Cooling for Precision Spectroscopy of Positronium |
要旨(英語) |
Positronium is a bound state of an electron and a positron, both of which are leptons. This unique property makes it a stringent testing ground for fundamental theories of physics, such as quantum electrodynamics, through the measurement of its transition frequencies.
Stopping the motion of positronium, thus obtaining a low temperature, is crucial for the accuracy of these measurements. Last year, we succeeded in one-dimensional laser cooling, approaching the recoil limit temperature. Building on this success, we have been developing an experimental system to extend this technique to three-dimensional laser cooling.
In this presentation, we will introduce the design of our cooling and spectroscopic experiments, as well as the current progress towards a method for generating positronium with a small spatial spread, which is essential for these experiments. |
