Excitation energies, hyperfine constants, E1, E2, M1 transition rates, and lifetimes of (6s2)nl states in Tl I and Pb II

Energies of np (n=6-9), ns (n=7-9), nd (n=6-8), and nf (n=5-6) states in Tl I and Pb II are obtained using relativistic many-body perturbation theory. Reduced matrix elements, oscillator strengths, transition rates, and lifetimes are determined for the 72 possible electric-dipole transitions. Electric-quadrupole and magnetic-dipole matrix elements are evaluated to obtain np(3/2) - mp(1/2) (n,m=6,7) transition rates. Hyperfine constants A are evaluated for a number of states in 205Tl. First-, second-, third-, and all-order corrections to the energies and matrix elements and first- and second-order Breit corrections to energies are calculated. In our implementation of the all-order method, single and double excitations of Dirac-Fock wave functions are included to all orders in perturbation theory. These calculations provide a theoretical benchmark for comparison with experiment and theory.Comment: twelve tables, no figure

Towards a Mg lattice clock: Observation of the 1S0−^1S_{0}-3P0^3P_{0} transition and determination of the magic wavelength

We optically excite the electronic state $3s3p~^3P_{0}$ in $^{24}$Mg atoms, laser-cooled and trapped in a magic-wavelength lattice. An applied magnetic field enhances the coupling of the light to the otherwise strictly forbidden transition. We determine the magic wavelength, the quadratic magnetic Zeeman shift and the transition frequency to be 468.463(207)$\,$nm, -206.6(2.0)$\,$MHz/T$^2$ and 655 058 646 691(101)$\,$kHz, respectively. These are compared with theoretical predictions and results from complementary experiments. We also developed a high-precision relativistic structure model for magnesium, give an improved theoretical value for the blackbody radiation shift and discuss a clock based on bosonic magnesium.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

State-Dependent Optical Lattices for the Strontium Optical Qubit

We demonstrate state-dependent optical lattices for the Sr optical qubit at the tune-out wavelength for its ground state. We tightly trap excited state atoms while suppressing the effect of the lattice on ground state atoms by more than four orders of magnitude. This highly independent control over the qubit states removes inelastic excited state collisions as the main obstacle for quantum simulation and computation schemes based on the Sr optical qubit. Our results also reveal large discrepancies in the atomic data used to calibrate the largest systematic effect of Sr optical lattice clocks.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures + 6 pages supplemental materia

Level-crossing spectroscopy of the 7, 9, and 10D_5/2 states of 133Cs and validation of relativistic many-body calculations of the polarizabilities and hyperfine constants

We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of the polarizabilities and hyperfine constants of D_J states in 133Cs for J=3/2 and J=5/2. New experimental values for the hyperfine constant A are obtained from level-crossing signals of the (7,9,10)D_5/2 states of 133Cs and precise calculations of the tensor polarizabilities alpha_2. The results of relativistic many-body calculations for scalar and tensor polarizabilities of the (5-10)D_3/2 and (5-10)D_5/2 states are presented and compared with measured values from the literature. Calculated values of the hyperfine constants A for these states are also presented and checked for consistency with experimental values.Comment: 12 pages, revtex4, 11 figure file

High-precision calculations of In I and Sn II atomic properties

We use all-order relativistic many-body perturbation theory to study 5s^2 nl configurations of In I and Sn II. Energies, E1-amplitudes, and hyperfine constants are calculated using all-order method, which accounts for single and double excitations of the Dirac-Fock wave functions.Comment: 10 pages, accepted to PRA; v2: Introduction changed, references adde

Treatment of iron deficiency in patients after acute decompensation: a new target in the treatment of heart failure

Iron deficiency  (ID) is one of the most common  comorbidities  in patients with heart failure (HF). ID is a strong independent predictor of outcomes  in HF patients. ID reduces  quality of life, exercise  tolerance,  and survival in patients with HF, regardless of anemia status. The latest 2021 guidelines recommend  initiating ID treatment at a ferritin <100 µg/L, or 100 to 299 µg/L, when transferrin saturation is less than 20%. The FAIR-HF and CONFIRM-HF studies have shown improvements in symptoms,  quality of life, and functional status in patients with stable HF and ID after intravenous administration of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM). Moreover, the results of these studies showed a reduced  risk of hospitalization for HF, which was later confirmed  in a subsequent  meta-analysis. Finally, the AFFIRM-AHF study, which evaluated the effect of FCM administration on outcomes  in patients hospitalized for acute HF/acute decompensated  HF, found a significant reduction in HF-related readmissions among patients treated with FCM
