Short Lived Atoms and Molecules

Working Group Conveners

Jaideep Singh (MSU/FRIB), Ronald Garcia Ruiz (MIT), Nick Hutzler (Caltech), Andrew Jayich (UC Santa Barbara)

Overview

The Short Lived Atoms and Molecules (SLAM) working group aims to bring together a community of scientists and engineers working across a wide range of fields, including AMO physics, nuclear physics, radiochemistry, physical chemistry, radioactive beams, astrophysics, precision measurement, and more, to realize the opportunities offered by atoms and molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei. This includes, amongst other topics, tests of fundamental symmetries using rare isotopes and molecular spectroscopy relevant for astrophysics.
