Next generation atomic clock
1S0-3P0 atomic transition has extremelynarrow linewidth ( <0.1 Hz), and is inert to a magnetic field. The atoms trapped in an optical lattice with the magic wavelength are free from the Doppler broadening and the collisional shift.
Frequency standard with / ~ 10-17
Precise frequency measurements of Sr and Yb in 1D latticehave been presented (NIST, JILA, SYRTE, PTB groups).
The precision is about 5Hz.

Photoassociation (PA)
Ultracold atoms has narrow thermal distribution, so free-boundtransitions (photoassociation) areobserved with high resolution.This photoassociation is a powerfultool for probing rovibrational levelsnear the threshold and scattering states.
Such parameters are determined for Sr, Ca, and Yb.
Atomic parameters such asradiative lifetimes and scatteringlengths are determined precisely.

The PA efficiency for Je=3 line of 174Yb is large inside the centri-fugal potential barrier.
This is due to shape resonance.
