Construction and Characterization of a Neutral Hg Magneto-Optical Trap and Precision Spectroscopy of the 6¹S₀ - 6³P₀ Hg¹⁹⁹ Clock Transition

In this dissertation I present theory and experimental results obtained in the Jones research group at the University of Arizona investigating the feasibility of neutral Hg as a candidate for an atomic clock. This investigation includes laser-cooling and trapping of several neutral Hg isotopes as we...
