Fundamental Symmetries in Nuclear Physics
Michael Ramsey-Musolf, Chicago, January, 2007
Fifty years of parity-violation in nuclear physics
Nuclear physics studies of fundamental symmetries played an essential role in developing & confirming the Standard Model
Our role has been broadly recognized within and beyond NP
The next decade presents NP with a historic opportunity to build on this legacy in developing the “new Standard Model”
The value of our contribution will be broadly recognized outside the field

Electroweak symmetry breaking: Higgs ?
Puzzles the Standard Model can’t solve
1. Origin of matter2. Unification & gravity
3. Weak scale stability4. Neutrinos
What are the symmetries (forces) of the early universe beyond those of the SM?
• Supersymmetry ?• New gauge interactions?• Extra dimensions ?
Scientific Questions, Achievements & Challenges
Scientific Questions
• Why is there more matter than antimatter in the present universe? EDM, DM, LFV, 13 …
• What are the unseen forces that disappeared from view as the universe cooled? Weak decays, PVES, g-2,…
• What are the masses of neutrinos and how have they shaped the evolution of the universe? decay, 13, decay,…
• What is the internal landscape of the proton? PVES, hadronic PV, scattering,… Tribble report
Scientific Achievements
• World’s most precise measurement of (g-2) Possible first indications of supersymmetry; over 800 citations
• Most precise measurement of sin2W off the Z0 resonance using PV Moller scattering; constrains new physics at the TeV scale (Z’, RPV SUSY…)
• Definitive determinations of strange quark contributions to nucleon EM form factors using PV electron-proton & electron-nucleus scattering; confirmed theoretical estimates of hadronic effects in electroweak radiative corrections
Scientific Achievements
• Quark-lepton universality tested to 0.05% using superallowed nuclear -decay, yielding most precise value of any CKM matrix element (Vud) 2006 Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physics recognizing work of Towner & Hardy
• Completion of a comprehensive set of computations of supersymmetric effects in low-energy electroweak observables; 2005 Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics to A. Kurylov
• Reduction in the theoretical hadronic uncertainty in extraction of Vud from neutron and nuclear -decay
Scientific Achievements
• Development of a EFT treatments of parity violation in the nucleon-nucleon interaction that will guide the future experimental program at the SNS and NIST
• Substantial technical developments opening the way for searches for the permanent EDMs of the neutron, neutral atoms, deuteron and electron with 2-4 orders of magnitude greater sensitivity

Precision Electroweak Measurements and Collider Searches are Complementary
• Precision measurements predicted a range for mt
before top quark discovery
• mt >> mb !
• mt is consistent with that range
• It didn’t have to be that way
