Description
The exchange of new light(ish) bosons coupled to electrons and nucleons leads to extra forces and corresponding potentials between particles and even macroscopic bodies. The high accuracy achievable in measurements on atoms and ions provides a powerful laboratory to test these forces at atomic and smaller distances. We discuss new tests of axion-like particles in highly charged ions, but also atomic tests of Lorentz and even CPT violating forces.
