Title: "Precision tests of particle physics using cold molecules"
Abstract:
In recent years a number of experiments have demonstrated the sensitivity of particular diatomic molecules to test extension to the Standard Model of particle physics, that allow for example for a non-zero electric-dipole moment of the electron. In this talk I will present why such molecules are ideal test-beds to test fundamental physics theories, and how the methods we work on to create cold samples of molecules can lead to the next generation of spectroscopic precision tests.
