Abstract

Buffer gas induced collision shift for the ⁸⁸Sr ¹S₀-³P₁ transition is investigated by precision saturation spectroscopy of thermal gas in a heat cell. The cell was filled with rare gases of helium, neon, argon, and xenon as buffer gases. Helium showed the largest fractional shift coefficient of 1.6x10^-9 Torr^-1. The disagreement between our experiments and simple impact calculations indicates effective atom losses from zero-velocity class which contributes to saturated absorption spectroscopy. The result could be useful to evaluate the background gas collision shift of Sr lattice clocks. Keywords: collision, saturated absorption spectroscopy, lattice clock, optical clock, density shift
