Speaker

Prof. Jacinda Ginges (The University of Queensland)

Description

Studies of fundamental symmetries violations in atoms and molecules provide some of the most confronting tests of the standard model and sensitive searches for new physics beyond. In this talk, I will review the current status and key challenges of the theory related to atomic parity violation and electric dipole moments. I will also discuss how atoms may be used to deduce improved nuclear physics properties, essential for reducing theory uncertainties and increasing the discovery potential of current and future experiments.
