Description

Atomic nuclei as laboratories for BSM physics

High-precision measurements of low energy processes provide powerful tools to explore fundamental symmetries and to search for new physics beyond the standard model (BSM). While large colliders explore the energy frontier, high-precision experiments of nuclear, atomic and molecular properties offer a complementary approach. The interpretation of these modern experiments requires a truly interdisciplinary research, with a joint effort between experimentalists and theorists from particle, nuclear, atomic and quantum chemistry. Accurate calculations with quantifiable uncertainty are imperative to disentangle the fundamental physics observables from measurements of nuclear, atomic and molecular properties.

This workshop will be focused on the recent theoretical and experimental progress related to the use of low energy probes in the studies of fundamental symmetries and the search of new physics BSM. A special emphasis will be given to the modern development on nuclear theory and their relevance in studies of fundamental symmetries, neutrino physics and dark matter search.
