Precision tests of fundamental physics at the electroweak unification scale

该项目旨在通过在低温下实施蓝宝石和石英体声波谐振器和相关技术，推进超越目前技术水平的新型精密频率产生和测量技术。该项目计划将这一技术进步应用于广义相对论的极其敏感的测试，能够探测普朗克尺度发出的抑制效应。这些测试包括对光子和声子违反洛伦兹不变性的新测试，对基本常数不变性的测试以及其他基础物理的测试。结果可能导致发现正确的量子引力理论，这是当代物理学中一个未解决的主要问题。

The project aims to advance novel precision frequency generation and measurement techniques beyond the present state of the art, through the implementation of sapphire and quartz bulk acoustic wave resonator and related technology at low temperature. The project plans to apply this technological advancement to extremely sensitive tests of General Relativity able to probe suppressed effects emanating from the Planck scale. Such tests include new tests of Lorentz invariance violations of photons and phonons, tests of fundamental constant invariance and other tests of fundamental physics. Results could lead to the discovery of the correct theory of quantum gravity, a major unsolved problem in contemporary physics.
