We aim to improve the measurement of the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) using cold molecules. The fantastic precision with which the eEDM can be measured makes it a uniquely sensitive low-energy probe of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Our small-scale experiment performed with atomic physics techniques has the potential to make a major contribution to answering outstanding questions in both particle physics and cosmology.

Summerschool on low-energy precision physics
We are organising a summer school for PhD students and postdocs on the beautiful Dutch island Ameland. It is about the search for new physics with low-energy precision tests. It is planned from 2-7 juli 2023. You can find out more (and sign up!) here.
Open PhD positions
6 PhD positions are available within the context of our NL-eEDM research program. We use cold molecules to probe fundamental physics - specifically the electron’s electric dipole moment (EDM). We are looking for motivated PhD students with a strong int...
