Welcome to the SLAM! Community, a hub for physics with Short-Lived Atoms and Molecules

We want to bring together a community of scientists and engineers working across a wide range of fields, including AMO physics, nuclear physics, radiochemistry, physical chemistry, radioactive beams, astrophysics, precision measurement, and more, to realize the opportunities offered by atoms and molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei.

Upcoming/Ongoing Events


FunSy Workshop at CERN - Fundamental symmetries in nuclei, atoms, and molecules

The FunSy workshop will be a hybrid in-person and on-line event hosted by CERN, located on the Meyrin campus outside of Geneva, Switzerland.  This workshop aims to gather a community uniting nuclear and atomic physics techniques for producing and studying radioactive isotopes, AMO techniques for high precision symmetry-violation searches, and theoretical predictions for systems of the highest sensitivity towards setting constraints on new physics beyond the Standard Model, by forming a new collaboration

Thanks to everybody who attended!
