Session KP01 - Poster Session III.
POSTER session, Tuesday afternoon, March 23
Exhibit Hall, GWCC
We describe principles of operation of the dual noble gas maser. This device can measure very small differential changes in the Zeeman transition frequencies of co-habitating ensembles of ^129Xe and ^3He atoms, and is useful for symmetry tests and precision measurements such as a search for a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the ^129Xe atom. We present experimental techniques and theoretical analysis pertaining to the operation of the device as an active, stable oscillator and its resulting sensitivity to new physics.
