A light-force technique for measuring polarizabilities is being used to measure the polarizability of the uranium atom. The technique uses a pulsed Nd:YAG laser to produce an intense, standing-wave field that provides velocity kicks to atoms that traverse the field region. These velocity kicks result in Doppler-shifted absorption by the atoms. The change in absorption of resonant light, provided by a tunable diode laser is measured. This measurement and a measurement of the standing-wave laser fluence allow determination of the polarizability. We plan to report the results of our measurements, along with a new scheme for generating a dense beam of uranium atoms.
