Tests of Fundamental Symmetries with Atoms and Molecules

这项工作的重点是理论方面的测试与原子和分子的基本对称性。该项目是由寻找新的物理，如超对称性，超越基本粒子的标准模型，与原子宇称违反。这种探索依赖于对基本力对原子和分子结构的微小影响的实验灵敏度。高精度的计算需要揭示（或提取约束）新的，但未被发现的粒子。导出的约束是竞争性的，同时补充了从粒子对撞机获得的信息。这项工作的更广泛的影响显然超出了AMO物理学，进入基本粒子理论。影响是广泛的，因为这项工作可能有助于扩展标准模型。 此外，这笔赠款将支持研究生的研究和教育。学生将被鼓励参加美国物理学会的会议和活动。调查结果和成果将通过科学期刊、会议报告和互联网的出版物传播。

This work focuses on theoretical aspects of tests of fundamental symmetries with atoms and molecules. The project is driven by searches for new physics, such as supersymmetry, beyond the standard model of elementary particles, with atomic parity violation. Such searches rely on exquisite experimental sensitivity to minute effects of fundamental forces on atomic and molecular structure. High-accuracy calculations are required for revealing (or extracting constraints on) new, yet undiscovered particles. The derived constraints are competitive and, at the same time complementary to the information gained from particle colliders.The broader impacts of this work evidently reach beyond AMO physics, into fundamental elementary particle theory. The impacts are broad, as the work may contribute to extensions of the standard model. In addition, this grant will support research and education of a graduate student. The student will be encouraged to participate at meetings and activities of the American Physical Society. The findings and results will be disseminated through publications in scientific journals, conference presentations, and the Internet.
