Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? Searching for New Physics Using Rare Isotopes at FRIB

Symmetry violations can be extremely sensitive signatures of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particles physics. Heavy rare isotopes are expected to have ground state symmetry violating electromagnetic moments with an enhanced sensitity to new physics. Other categories of rare isotopes which natually decay can reveal other types of new physics through symmtery violations as well. FRIB will provide access to a wide range of these isotopes, some in practical quantities for the first time, either directly on-line or crucially off-line via the isotope harvesting program. Beyond just the production of these rare isotopes, FRIB also provides radiochemistry support along with expertise in nuclear structure experiment and theory which enables the use of these isotopes as well as the interpretation of these precision measurements that seek to observe new physics. In this talk, I will highlight collaborations and opportunities involving the search for time-reversal violation using radioactive molecules containing pear-shaped nuclei as well as developing efforts to study nuclear decays using advanced quantum sensing techniques developed by the atomic/molecular/optical physics and quantum information sciences communities.
