I would like to announce a workshop at the intersection of atomic physics with particles and fields (Ok, it has some elements of cosmology too). The workshop is to be held at the Perimeter Institute in mid-June of 2014. Having visited Perimeter for a couple of weeks, I highly recommend its stimulating environment. Here is the announcement:
NEW IDEAS IN LOW-ENERGY TESTS OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together members of theoretical and experimental communities interested in finding new fundamental applications to continuing advancement of new high-precision tools in AMO physics. The foci of the workshop will include novel approaches to searches for axions, axion-like particles and other light exotic fields, which can serve as dark matter candidates; new ideas in application of the networks of time-correlated devices (atomic magnetometers, atomic clocks etc.); new ways of testing properties of gravitational interactions and fundamental constants as well as developing new gravitational wave detectors.
