Abstract

I present results of a search for new physics performed by measuring isotope shifts (IS) in Yb+ at the Vuletić group at MIT and discuss plans to perform IS spectroscopy of Ca+ with Jonathan Home's group at ETH. Isotope shifts, when measured on at least two atomic transitions can be displayed in a King plot. The presence of nonlinearities in such a plot indicates the existence of effects beyond the expected first-order standard model (SM) contributions to the IS's. We measured IS's on three narrow transitions in five isotopes of Yb+ and observe King nonlinearity with more than 40 sigma confidence. Further, we find 4-sigma evidence that there are at least two distinct physical effects contributing to the observed nonlinearity. We identify the largest effect as originating from isotope-dependent differences in the 4th-order nuclear charge moment. We discuss possible sources of the second nonlinearity and find that it likely cannot be explained by the expected next-largest SM contribution.
