Norman F. Ramsey Prize in Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, and in Precision Tests of Fundamental Laws and Symmetries: From zero-field magnetic resonance to gamma rays

Atomic, molecular, and optical physics continues the tradition of Norman F. Ramsey to push the limits of technology, contribute to other disciplines, and seek answers to fundamental questions. We will illustrate this with examples based on the recent collaborative work, including development of zero- to ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance, remote measurements of magnetic fields, and searches for dark matter. Finally, we will mention a proposal to use high-energy accelerators (such as the LHC at CERN) as "ion traps" for fundamental physics and a bright sources of tunable narrow-band gamma rays.
