Fundamental Symmetry Tests with Rare Isotopes

Joint ACFI-FRIB workshop

Atomic nuclei provide powerful laboratories for testing nature’s fundamental symmetries. With the larger number and quantity of isotopes that the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will make available, new and improved tests, such as for atomic EDMs, will be possible. The workshop will assess the opportunities for fundamental symmetry tests that FRIB make possible and identify those most important to pursue. The workshop will also address how the research and theory associated with FRIB can support development of nuclear theory needed for the interpretation of key fundamental measurements related to neutrinoless double double beta decay, EDMs, radioactive decays, and dark matter searches.
