Conference Focus

The conference is devoted to precision studies of atoms and simple molecules in order to develop new tools and techniques to perform measurements beyond standard atomic physics, and perhaps see new physics.  Potential applications include issues from particle and nuclear physics, atomic and molecular physics, astrophysics, metrology, etc.

Conference topics include:
  • Precision spectroscopy of hydrogen, its isotopes and other light atoms
  • Study of pure leptonic systems, muonic and exotic atoms
  • Study of few-electron ions with medium and high Z
  • Precision frequency measurements and determination of fundamental constants
  • Search for variation of fundamental constants and violation of fundamental symmetries
  • Study of fundamental interactions in atomic physics
  • Structure of light nuclei and other hadronic effects
  • Quantum electrodynamics and advanced quantum mechanics
