A New Option for a Search for Alpha Variation: Narrow Transitions with Enhanced Sensitivity

We consider several transitions between narrow lines that have an enhanced sensitivity to a possible variation of the fine structure constant, alpha. This enhancement may allow a search to be performed with an effective suppression of the systematic sources of uncertainty that are unavoidable in conventional high-resolution spectroscopic measurements. In the future this may provide the strongest laboratory constraints on alpha variation

Optical Clocks in Space

The performance of optical clocks has strongly progressed in recent years, and accuracies and instabilities of 1 part in 10^18 are expected in the near future. The operation of optical clocks in space provides new scientific and technological opportunities. In particular, an earth-orbiting satellite containing an ensemble of optical clocks would allow a precision measurement of the gravitational redshift, navigation with improved precision, mapping of the earth's gravitational potential by relativistic geodesy, and comparisons between ground clocks.Comment: Proc.

Ultra-precise measurement of optical frequency ratios

We developed a novel technique for frequency measurement and synthesis, based on the operation of a femtosecond comb generator as transfer oscillator. The technique can be used to measure frequency ratios of any optical signals throughout the visible and near-infrared part of the spectrum. Relative uncertainties of $10^{-18}$ for averaging times of 100 s are possible. Using a Nd:YAG laser in combination with a nonlinear crystal we measured the frequency ratio of the second harmonic $\nu_{SH}$ at 532 nm to the fundamental $\nu_0$ at 1064 nm, $\nu_{SH}/\nu_0 = 2.000 000 000 000 000 001 \times (1 \pm 7 \times 10^{-19})$.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

SOCIAL HEALTH DETERMINES MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE

The article deals with the issue of modern understanding of social health and its impact on the mental and physical development of a young person in high school. Using the method of analysis, a study of the term "social health" in its modern sense was conducted. Using the method of M. Rokich, a study of terminal and instrumental in 363 students of the direction of training "State and municipal management" AT the Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin was conducted. The results show that the system of socially-oriented values of a young person determines his social health, as well as determines his mental and physical development.В статье рассматривается вопрос о современном понимании социального здоровья и влиянии его на психическое и физическое развитие молодого человека в условиях высшей школы. С помощью метода анализа проведено исследование термина «социальное здоровье» в современном его понимании. С помощью методики М. Рокича проведено исследование терминальных и инструментальных у 363 студентов направления подготовки «Государственное и муниципальное управление» в ФГАОУ ВО «Уральский федеральный университет имени первого Президента России Б. Н. Ельцина». Полученные результаты показывают, что система социально-ориентированных ценностей молодого человека определяет его социальное здоровье, а также определяет его психическое и физическое развитие

Absolute frequency measurement of the In+^{+} clock transition with a mode-locked laser

The absolute frequency of the In$^{+}$ $5s^{2 1}S_{0}$ - $5s5p^{3}P_{0}$ clock transition at 237 nm was measured with an accuracy of 1.8 parts in $10^{13}$. Using a phase-coherent frequency chain, we compared the $^{1}S_{0}$ - $^{3}P_{0}$ transition with a methane-stabilized He-Ne laser at 3.39 $\mu$m which was calibrated against an atomic cesium fountain clock. A frequency gap of 37 THz at the fourth harmonic of the He-Ne standard was bridged by a frequency comb generated by a mode-locked femtosecond laser. The frequency of the In$^{+}$ clock transition was found to be $1 267 402 452 899.92 (0.23)$ kHz, the accuracy being limited by the uncertainty of the He-Ne laser reference. This represents an improvement in accuracy of more than 2 orders of magnitude on previous measurements of the line and now stands as the most accurate measurement of an optical transition in a single ion.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures. accepted for publication in Opt.
