Search for New Physics with Atomics Clocks
Ekkehard Peik (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
Atomic clocks are the most precise measuring devices available
and consequently they play a prominent role in experimental tests
of Relativity and in a search for New Physics. A new generation of
optical clocks with laser cooled and trapped atoms or ions offers
further improvements over cesium clocks that are used in the realization
of the SI second. I will report on recent developments of optical clocks
at PTB and on some tests of fundamental physics like searches for
violation of local position invariance or for temporal variations of
fundamental constants with atomic clocks of different kind.
