Studies of parity violation in atoms

Atomic Physics 2024-11-21 v1

Abstract

Studies of the effects of the weak interaction in atomic systems provide tests of the Standard Model of particle physics, and explore physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model. In addition, these studies can offer valuable insights into low-energy nuclear physics. We provide an overview of the field of atomic parity violation, and discuss implications to nuclear and particle physics, and ongoing experimental efforts. Furthermore, we present our plans for precision measurements of the signatures of the weak interaction in atomic ytterbium.
