Various theories beyond the standard model predict new particles with masses in sub-eV range very weak couplings to ordinary matter. A $P$-odd and $T$-odd interaction between polarized unpolarized nucleons proportional $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{K}\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{r}$ is one such possibility, where $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{r}$ distance $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{K}$ spin of nucleon. Such an involving...
We demonstrate a new approach to precision NMR with hyperpolarized gases designed mitigate shifts due the alkali spin-exchange field.

The basics of Operation are summarized, a review completed phases presented, and current state progress in phase 4 discussed. Many details have been left out for sake brevity, but principles still complete.
We demonstrate a transversely polarized spin-exchange pumped noble gas comagnetometer which suppresses systematic errors from longitudinal polarization. Rb atoms as well $^{131}$Xe and $^{129}$Xe nuclei are simultaneously perpendicular to pulsed bias field. Both Xe isotopes' nuclear magnetic resonance conditions satisfied by frequency modulation of the pulse repetition rate.

Atomic magnetometers (AMs) offer many advantages over superconducting quantum interference devices due to, among other things, having comparable sensitivity while not requiring cryogenics. One of the major limitations AMs is challenge configuring them as gradiometers. We report development a spin-exchange relaxation free vector atomic magnetic gradiometer with 3 fT cm-1 Hz-1/2 and common mode rejection ratio >150 in band from DC to 100 Hz. introduce background suppression figure merit for...
Spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) optical atomic magnetometers are a promising alternative to superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) for biomedical applications, as they do not require liquid-helium cryogenics or shielded room. However, their sensitivity in the 0.1--100 Hz range is undermined by $1/f$ noise. The authors present vector SERF magnetometer with suppressed noise, due ac response along each of its two sensitive axes. improved long-term stability this system...

The concept is drive magnetic resonance using spin-exchange collisions in reference frame rotating about bias field. resulting purely transverse polarization predicted be insensitive field shifts and quadrupole interactions, both of which prominent designs based on conventional resonance.
