CUA Seminar – Nick Hutzler: Precision measurement with molecules containing deformed nuclei

Location:MIT 4-270

Nick Hutzler, CalTech

Molecules are sensitive probes of fundamental symmetry violations in both electrons and nuclei. A heavy, deformed nucleus can amplify signatures of exotic nuclear effects, and an engineered molecular structure can provide a platform for quantum control with robustness against experimental errors. We are performing experiments with YbOH, which has a quadrupole-deformed nucleus which enhances the nuclear...
