Un ruolo importante nella spiegazione di alcuni problemi aperti della Fisica Moderna, quali l'esistenza della materia oscura e il predominio della materia sull'antimateria nell'Universo, può essere svolto testando i limiti delle simmetrie universali come CPT, l'Invarianza di Lorentz e il Principio di Equivalenza Debole.

The Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of elementary particles, including hadrons, is considered as one of the most powerful tools to study CP-violation beyond the Standard Model. Such CP-violating mechanisms are searched for to explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter in our universe. Up to now EDM experiments concentrated on neutral systems, namely neutron, atoms and molecules. Storage...
We are experimentally investigating possible departures from the standard quantum mechanics’ predictions at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy.
In particular, with radiation detectors we are searching signals predicted by the collapse models (spontaneous emission of radiation) which were proposed to solve the “measurement problem” in quantum physics and signals coming from a...
The main goal of the FAMU experiment is a precise laser spectroscopy measurement of the ground state of the muonic hydrogen ($\mu$p 1S). From the measurement of the $\mu$p 1S hyperfine splitting, precise information about the magnetic structure of the proton can be extracted. The structure of atomic systems is described by quantum electrodynamics (QED) up to an extremely high precision...
