U.S.-India Cooperative Research: Test of Fundamental Symmetries, Theory and Precision Spectroscopy With Complex Atoms

0425916德米特里·邦克描述：美国-印度合作研究：复杂原子的基本对称性，理论和精密光谱学的测试涉及基础原子物理学的前沿课题。 加州大学伯克利分校的Dmitry掩体教授小组和印度天体物理研究所的印度理论家（Bhanu Das博士），班加罗尔和物理研究实验室（Angom Singh博士），阿赫梅达巴德将进行实验，这些实验有望在离散对称性破坏和复杂原子的精确光谱学方面产生新的重要成果。 镱原子宇称不守恒的实验和理论结合的结果有可能检验粒子物理学的标准模型，并揭示宇称不守恒核力。 适用范围：印度的班加罗尔和阿赫梅达巴德小组以及伯克利的布德卡教授小组在现代原子物理学的各个方面，特别是与原子基本对称性测试有关的方面，都有独特的专业知识和经验。 伯克利的实验主义者与印度理论家的直接合作，对双方都有很大的好处。 该项目的另一个重要方面是所有三个机构的研究生和本科生的直接参与。 此外，学生通过参与实验受益，该奖项为两名伯克利学生提供支持，在印度参与外国机构进行研究。

0425916Dmitry BunkerDescription: The U.S.-India Cooperative Research: Test of Fundamental Symmetries, Theory and Precision Spectroscopy with Complex Atoms is concerned with topics at the cutting edge of fundamental atomic physics. Professor Dmitry Bunker's group at the University of California, Berkeley and Indian theorists at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (Dr. Bhanu Das), Bangalore and the Physical Research Laboratory (Dr. Angom Singh), Ahmedabad will carry out the experiments, which promise to yield new and important results in discrete symmetry violations and precision spectroscopy of complex atoms. The combined results of experiment and theory for parity nonconservation in atomic ytterbium have the potential to test the Standard Model of particle physics and shed light on parity nonconserving nuclear forces. Scope: The Bangalore and Ahmedabad groups in India and Professor Budkar's group at Berkeley have a unique combination of expertise and experience in various aspects of modern atomic physics, particularly ones related to tests of fundamental symmetries in atoms. Direct collaboration of Berkeley experimentalists with Indian theorists will be of great benefit to both groups. A further important aspect of this project is the direct involvement of graduate and undergraduate students at all three institutions. In addition, to student benefit through participation in the experiments, this award provides support for two Berkeley students to conduct research at the participating foreign institutions in India.
