Nominator's project description

Professor Flambaum is a leading theoretical physicist and well known internationally for his pioneering works on the violation of fundamental symmetries. He developed the first theory of the so-called nuclear anapole moment (a magnetic moment violating P and C symmetries) and proposed atomic and molecular measurements which led to its experimental discovery. Recently he suggested new ideas which had a strong impact on the search for space-time variation of the fundamental constants of Nature.
