Dealing with fundamental physics with trapped particles (ions, atoms, molecules or photons), this book looks at one of the most challenging and promising research fields since the 1990s. The use of particle trapping and laser cooling techniques, together with traditional techniques of atomic physics, represents a powerful tool for investigating a wide range of fields. Experiments spanning very high resolution spectroscopy to Bose-Einstein condensation, tests of the standard model of electroweak interactions to precise mass measurements, detailed analysis of b decay to QED tests are presented in this book by leading scientists. The most recent results are reported and the perspectives in the different fields are discussed.
