Description

This contribution will introduce a new experiment at MIT in which ion trapping and laser spectroscopy techniques are combined for precision measurements of fundamental symmetries and yet-to-be-explored nuclear electroweak properties [arXiv:2310.11192]. In particular, single trapped molecular ions can amplify the sensitivity to nuclear-spin-dependent parity-violating effects, such as the nuclear anapole moment, by more than 12 orders of magnitude compared to atoms. The current status and prospects for studying radioactive molecules will be discussed.
