Description
The Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) is one of the main
cornerstones of the Quantum Theory. Violation of the PEP, albeit small, could be
motivated by physics beyond the Standard Model which entail extra space
dimensions, violation of the Lorentz invariance, non-commutative space-time.
These scenarios can be experimentally constrained with stat-of-the-art X-ray
spectroscopy, searching for forbidden transition in atomic systems. I shall present
the latest results of the VIP-2 and of the Gator experiment, and the impact on
Quantum gravity models and fundamental symmetries.
