While primarily and experimental group, we are delighted to have a “Theory Division” currently represented by Drs. Konstantin Gaul and Cong Lei.
Current theory projects include a systematic survey of long-range spin-dependent interactions, investigation of parity violation in both chiral and nonchiral molecules and many others.
Figure from “Spin-dependent exotic interactions“, by Lei Cong, Wei Ji, Pavel Fadeev, Filip Ficek, Min Jiang, Victor V. Flambaum, Haosen Guan, Derek F. Jackson Kimball, Mikhail G. Kozlov, Yevgeny V. Stadnik, and Dmitry Budker (Rev. Mod. Phys. 2025) illustrating how the existence of “new” bosons lead to various spin-dependent interaction potentials.
