Proposal for high-precision Atomic Parity Violation measurements using   amplification of the asymmetry by stimulated emission in a transverse E and B   field pump-probe experiment
  Amplification by stimulated emission of radiation provides an intriguing means for increasing the sensitivity of Atomic Parity Violation (APV) measurements in a pump-probe configuration well adapted to the 6S-7S cesium transition. It takes advantage of the large number of atoms excited along the path of the pump beam. In the longitudinal E-field configuration currently exploited in an ongoing APV measurement, this number is limited only by the total voltage sustainable by the Cs vapor. In order to overcome this limit, we consider, both theoretically and experimentally, the possibility of performing the measurements in a transverse E-field configuration requiring a much lower voltage. We discuss the necessarily different nature of the observable and the magnetoelectric optical effects entering into play. They condition modifications of the experimental configuration with, in particular, the application of a transverse magnetic field. We suggest the possibility of rotating the transverse direction of the fields so as to suppress systematic effects. With a long interaction length, a precision reaching 0.1 percent in a quantum noise limited measurement can be expected, now limited only by the necessity of operating below the threshold of spontaneous superradiant emission of the excited medium. If we approached this limit, however, we could greatly amplify the asymmetry using triggered superradiance.
