Parity-Violation in Hydrogen: Precision Enhancement through Many-Particle Squeezing — •Martin-Isbjörn Trappe, Thomas Gasenzer, and Otto Nachtmann — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Philosophenweg 16, 69120 Heidelberg

We discuss the propagation of hydrogen atoms in static electric and magnetic fields in a longitudinal atomic beam spin echo (lABSE) Interferometer. The atoms acquire geometric (Berry) phases that exhibit a manifestation of parity-(P-)violation effects arising from electroweak Z-boson exchange between electron and nucleus. We provide analytical as well as numerical calculations of the behaviour of the metastable n=2 states of hydrogen. Possible measurements of P-violating geometric phases in lABSE experiments require a high precision for detecting atoms in specific states. We investigate possibilities to enhance the precision of lABSE experiments beyond the standard quantum limit using squeezed many-particle hydrogen states.
