"Fundamental Symmetry Studies with Rare Atoms Tim Chupp"

Dr. Timothy Chupp
University of Michigan



The Standard Model of elementary particle interactions explains almost everything that has been measured or observed, yet it appears to be incomplete - a low-energy manifestation of a more general model. New physics is sought at the highest energies, where new particles may be discovered, and by making precision measurements that make use of symmetry violations to reveal new interactions. Rare atoms are unstable species having Z=0 to 92 that are produced in significant quantities at a number of facilities world-wide, and several special cases provide enhanced sensitivity to violations of parity and time-reversal invariance when polarization is used as a variable. In this talk, I will describe motivations and experiments with neutrons and with rare atoms designed to probe the Standard Model and beyond.
