Experimental Tests of Novel Short Range Forces with AMO Methods - Andy Geraci

Explore experimental tests of novel short-range forces using atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) methods in this 40-minute conference talk by Andy Geraci. Delivered as part of the "Novel Experiments for Fundamental Physics" KITP Online Conference, delve into cutting-edge research on dark matter, axions, weak short-range forces, fundamental constants, symmetry violations, and the principle of equivalence in gravity. Discover how cold atom techniques and related methods are advancing our understanding of fundamental physics, opening up new possibilities for precise measurements and tests. Gain insights into the prospects and significance of experiments ranging from tabletop setups to kilometer-scale installations, and learn how these approaches are bridging the gap between experimental and theoretical physics. Engage with the latest developments in interferometric and opto-nanomechanical techniques, and understand their potential impact on our understanding of the universe.
