    At the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) muon rates of up several 10$^8$ $\mu^+$/s are available, produced by its 1.4 MW proton accelerator complex HIPA. While these are currently among the highest muon rates available worldwide, projects in the US and Japan are underway that will be able to surpass these intensities by several orders of magnitude.

    The baryon asymmetry of the universe points towards CP-violating sources beyond the Standard Model. If these consist of heavy new particles, their effect at low energies can be described by effective field theories. I will describe theoretical challenges and recent progress within this framework for the extraction of bounds on CP violation from neutron EDM searches. In particular, I will...

    The Standard Model is a well-tested and successful theory of particle physics. However, it does not fully explain the lack of anti-matter observed in the universe. A possible mechanism that could explain this is from new sources of CP violation. This could lead to the existence of a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) in fundamental particles, through beyond Standard Model interactions....

These values are used to determine the experimental value of muon $g-2$, for which a discrepancy of 4.2$\sigma$ between...

    Different methods of measuring the neutron lifetime lead to discrepant results at about 4.5 sigma. These anomalies are maybe related to yet unfixed systematics but they also can be an indication to new physics beyond the Standard Model.

    Measurements of the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) occupy an important place in today's particle physics. A finite value of the neutron EDM would indicate time-reversal symmetry violation, and based on the CPT theorem, also CP violation. Hence, it serves as a sensitive probe for CP violation.

    While neutrino oscillations disprove massless neutrinos, decay kinematics give access to their absolute mass value. Using high-precision tritium beta-decay spectroscopy, the KATRIN experiment places the current best limit on the effective electron anti-neutrino mass at 0.8 eV (90% CL). New operational conditions for an improved signal-to-background ratio, the reduction of systematic...

    Cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES) is a new avenue towards high-precision measurements of nuclear ?-decay spectra. High energy resolution and intrinsic low background have been demonstrated for CRES. As frequency-based technology CRES has an independent set of systematic uncertainty contributions in comparison to most classical electron spectroscopy techniques. Combined with an...

    At CERN, we have recently become able to study atoms of antihydrogen - the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen. The question to be addressed is fundamental and profound: “Do matter and antimatter obey the same laws of physics?” The Standard Model requires that hydrogen and antihydrogen have the same spectrum. The possibility of applying the precision measurement techniques of atomic physics to...
