Overview of relevant experimental methods and principles of data analysis.
Selected precision experiments: e.g., Michelson-Morley experiment and tests of Lorentz-invariance, universality of free fall and equivalence principle, gravitational redshift, determination of the gravitational constant G and PPN tests of general relativity, atomic clocks and optical frequency standards, search for a permanent electric dipole moment of electron and neutron, electron g-factor and determination of the fine-structure constant, CP-Violation in elementary particles and atomic or molecular systems, neutrino oscillations and neutrino mass determination, search for time variations of fundamental "constants",
