Ground-state properties and static dipole polarizabilities of the alkali dimers from K 2 n to Fr 2 n ( n = 0 , + 1 ) from scalar relativistic pseudopotential coupled cluster and density functional studies Relativistically corrected hyperfine structure constants calculated with the regular approximation applied to correlation corrected ab initio theory Abstract. We present the current status of the Francium Trapping Facility at ISAC at TRIUMF. The facility will enable future experiments on the weak interaction with measurements of atomic parity non-conservation laser-cooled samples of artificially produced francium. These experiments require a precisely controlled environment, which the facility is designed to provide. The facility has been constructed and is being prepared for a series of commissioning runs.
