Seminar:  Crossing the P's and T's and dotting the a’s testing fundamental symmetries at Berkeley

 

Abstract: We will briefly discuss several experiments testing various fundamental-symmetries using the methods of atomic physics:

1. Measurement of parity violation in atomic ytterbium

2. Exploratory work towards a condensed-matter experiment searching for a parity- and time-reversal-violating nuclear Schiff moment

3. Search for temporal variation of the fine-structure ``constant" with radio-frequency transitions in atomic dysprosium

4. Search for a small violation of Bose-Einstein statistics for photons in two-photon transitions in atomic barium.
