SUMMARY:Searching for Extraordinary Physics in Ordinary Places\, Atomi
 c Physics Seminar\, Michael Hohensee\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:The Standard Model and General Relativity have proven to b
 e extraordinarily good at describing the world we live in.  Unfortunat
 ely\, it is not yet clear how these theories are reconciled with one a
 nother at extremely high energies.  This is one of the puzzles which m
 otivates ongoing experimental and observational searches for new pheno
 mena in high energy\, astro-particle\, gravitational\, and precision m
 easurement physics.  Any deviation from the predictions of the Standar
 d Model and General Relativity could point the way towards a unified t
 heory.  This talk will describe recent developments in precision tests
  of the fundamental symmetries underlying both the Standard Model and 
 General Relativity using atomic physics techniques.  As I will show\, 
 sometimes the most sensitive test of new physics doesn't require obser
 ving physics at very high energies\, large distances\, or extreme grav
 itational environments.  Sometimes the best place to look for extraord
 inary physics is in what might at first seem to be a rather ordinary p
 lace.
