Radioactive Molecules at Texas A&M's Cyclotron Institute

Oral-In-person

Abstract

Radioactive molecules are increasingly sought-after for measurement of fundamental properties within and beyond the standard model and of astrophysical properties. Utilizing radioactive isotopes produced at the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute, I will present our ongoing efforts on the efficient creation and spectroscopy of radioactive molecules and outline their application within the NEPTUNE project [1] to study unknown symmetry-violating nuclear electroweak effects, such as the nuclear anapole moment.
