Kotochigova and Jun Ye}, title = {Precision Test of Mass-Ratio Variations with Lattice-Confined Ultracold Molecules}, abstract = {We propose a precision measurement of time variations of the proton-electron mass ratio using ultracold molecules in an optical lattice. Vibrational energy intervals are sensitive to changes of the mass ratio. In contrast to measurements that use hyperfine-interval-based atomic clocks, the scheme discussed here is model independent and does not require separation of time variations of different physical constants. The possibility of applying the zero-differential –Stark-shift optical lattice technique is explored to measure vibrational transitions at high accuracy.}, year = {2008}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {100}, pages = {043201}, month = {2008-02}, issn = {0031-9007}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.043201}, }
