Abstract

The ratio of scalar to tensor transition polarirabilities (α/β) for the cesium 6S_1/2F= 3 to 7S_1/2F’ = 3 transilion has been mcasurcd using a spin-polarized atomic beam and an interference technique. Wc use an electric- and magnetic-ficld configuration where the Stark-induced electric dipole transition amplitudes arising from the scalar and tensor polarirobilities interfere. giving rise to large changes in the 6s-7s transition rate. The measured ratio is α/β=-9.905±0.011. This result represents a tenfold improvement in precision. and agrees well with previous nieasurcmcnts and calculations. The ratio α/β is of critical importance for ccsitini atomic parity violation esperiments. [Sl050-2947(97)08202-4]
