Special setup uses polarized rubidium and xenon as transmitter and receiver system for exotic fields

In the search for new forces and interactions beyond the Standard Model, an international team of researchers involving the PRISMA Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has now taken a good step forward. The researchers, among them Prof. Dr. Dmitry Budker, are using an amplification technique based on nuclear magnetic resonance.
