Abstract

The atomic properties of ²¹⁰Fr atoms are captured and measured in an online magneto-optic trap (MOT). Francium is identified as a viable candidate for a parity nonconversion measurement but this requires detailed knowledge of the atomic structure of Fr. The precision measurement of the 7p²P 1/2 state lifetime in atomic Fr and the comparison of the extracted radial matrix elements with the most accurate many-body perturbation theory calculations are presented. The lifetime was measured by a time-correlated single-photon counting technique. Cold francium atoms accumulate in a MOT.
