from to (Europe/Zurich)
at CERN ( 4-3-006 - TH Theory Conference Room )
Description
The CERN Theory Institute has been launched with focused programs in High Energy Physics. A session
devoted to Beyond the Standard Model is organized in August-September 2007, it will be mostly targeted 
to model-builders, with the participation of string theorists and collider phenomenologists.

      Weekly TH Colloquium. 
      Abstract: Atomic physics has made rapid progress recently, yielding many high precision techniques and
      experiments.  Atom interferometry in particular has become a sensitive tool, used successfully for a variety
      of applications including clocks, gyroscopes, and accelerometers.  In light of this, it is interesting to consider
      the possibilities for using atom interferometry to study fundamental physics.  It could be applied to study 
      gravity and astrophysics by observing low frequency gravitational waves, or by allowing laboratory tests of 
      general relativity.  Further, atom interferometry can make significant improvements to searches for new 
      short-distance forces and tests of atom neutrality.  It could even potentially provide novel tests of 
      quantum mechanics.
