Nonminimal Lorentz Violation in Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy Experiments

Abstract

This presentation discusses potential signals of Lorentz violation that could be observed in atomic and molecular spectroscopy experiments. It provides a general overview of the nonrelativistic effective SME coefficients that have been constrained, as well as the prospects for placing first-time bounds on those that remain unconstrained. Additionally, it highlights the importance of considering transitions involving atomic or molecular states with high angular momentum in tests of Lorentz symmetry.
