  2. Outline • Black-body radiation shifts • Microwave vs. Optical transitions • BBR shift in Rb frequency standard • How to calculate its uncertainty? • Development of new methodology for precision calculations of Group II-type system properties • Polarizabilities • Magic wavelengths

  3. Blackbody radiation shifts Level B Clock transition Level A DBBR T = 0 K T = 300 K Transition frequency should be corrected to account for the effect of the black body radiation at T=300K.

  4. atomic clocksblack-body radiation ( BBR ) shift Motivation: BBR shift gives large contribution into uncertainty budget for some of the atomic clock schemes. Accurate calculations are needed to achieve ultimate precision goals.

  5. BBR shift and polarizability BBR shift of atomic level can be expressed in terms of a scalar static polarizability to a good approximation [1]: Dynamic correction Dynamic correction is generally small. Multipolar corrections (M1 and E2) are suppressed by a2 [1]. Vector & tensor polarizability average out due to the isotropic nature of field.

Therefore, the third-order F-dependent polarizability aF (0) has to be calculated. Lowest-order polarizability term terms

  11. Third-order polarizability calcualtion The third-order static scalar electric-dipole polarizability of the hyperfine level F can be written as: Coefficient Each term involves sums with two electric-dipole and one hyperfine matrix element. The summations in these terms range over core, valence bound and continuum states. Electric-dipole matrix elements Hyperfine matrix elements

  12. Sources of uncertainties • Strategy: dominant terms (m, n=5-12) are calculated with • ``best set’’ matrix elements and experimental energies. • The remaining terms are calculated in Dirac-Hartree-Fock • approximation. • Uncertainty calculation: • Uncertainty of each of the157 matrix elements contributing to dominant terms is estimated. • (2) Uncertainties in all remainders are evaluated.

  14. Uncertainty of the remainders: Term T fast convergence slow convergence 15% of the term T DHF approximation is determined to be accurate to 4% by comparing accurate results for main terms with DHF values. Therefore, we adjust the DHF tail by 4%. Entire adjustment (4%) is taken to be uncertainty in the tail.

  16. GOAL of the present project:calculate properties of group II atoms with precision comparable to alkali-metal atoms

  17. Configuration interaction +all-order method CI works for systems with many valence electrons but can not accurately account for core-valence and core-core correlations. All-order (coupled-cluster) method can not accurately describe valence-valence correlation for large systems but accounts well for core-core and core-valence correlations. Therefore, two methods are combined to acquire benefits from both approaches.
