Nuclei as Laboratories: Nuclear Tests of Fundamental Symmetries
The prospect of a rare isosotope accelerator facility opens up possibilities
for a new generation of nuclear tests of fundamental symmetries. In this talk,
I survey the current landscape of such tests and discuss future opportunities
that a new facility might present.Comment: To appear in proceedings of 3rd ANL/MSU/INT/JINA Theory Workshop,

Searching for T-Violating, P-Conserving New Physics with Neutrons
The observance of parity conserving time reversal violation in light quark
systems could signal the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. I
discuss the implications of low-energy time reversal tests for the existence of
such T-violating, P-conserving (TVPC) interactions. I argue that searches for
permanent electric dipole moments (EDM's) and direct TVPC searches provide
complementary information on P-conserving T-violation. EDM searches yield
constraints only under the assumption that parity symmetry is restored at the
scale Lambda associated with new TVPC physics. If parity remains broken at
short distances, direct searches yield the least ambiguous bounds. In the
latter case, improving the experimental precision of direct TVPC searches in
neutron beta-decay and polarized epithermal neutron transmission at the
Spallation Neutron Source could yield tighter bounds.Comment: To appear in proceedings of Workshop on Fundamental Physics with

Probing the Fundamental Symmetries of the Early Universe: The Low Energy Frontier
Searching for the fundamental symmetries that characterize the particle
physics of the early universe lies at the forefront of particle physics,
nuclear physics, and cosmology. In this talk, I review low energy probes of
these symmetries and discuss what they may teach us about what lies beyond the
fundamental symmetries of the Standard Model.Comment: Plenary Talk, PANIC05 (Sante Fe, NM). 11 pages, no figure
Opportunity of a Lifetime 2.0: Multigenerational Family Philanthropy
More than ever before, giving families are working to involve multiple generations in their philanthropy.According to the National Center for Family Philanthropy's Trends in Family Philanthropy Study, nearly 3 in 5 U.S. family foundations engage younger family members in the foundation — and more than 40 percent say they expect to add to or increase the number of younger-generation family members on their boards in the near future.This issue brief was written with this emergent trend in mind and to help families understand how to best involve multiple generations in their work.In it, you'll find information about:why you should involve the entire family in your giving,strategies for incorporating younger generations into your foundation's work,common challenges and expert approaches,tips for on boarding new generations into your foundation, andsuggestions for next generation family members who are getting involved in their families' philanthropy.As the title of this paper suggests, this passages paper is the second edition of "Opportunity of a Lifetime." The original paper, "Opportunity of a Lifetime: Young Adults in Family Philanthropy," written by Alison Goldberg (herself a Gen X family philanthropist) was published in 2002. A lot has changed in 15 years, so we decided to take another look at the best practices, technology, benefits, challenges, and opportunities for next generation engagement. This paper builds on and updates the work of the original to offer new voices and insights
Electric Dipole Moments: A Global Analysis
We perform a global analysis of searches for the permanent electric dipole
moments (EDMs) of the neutron, neutral atoms, and molecules in terms of six
leptonic, semileptonic, and nonleptonic interactions involving photons,
electrons, pions, and nucleons. Translating the results into fundamental
CP-violating effective interactions through dimension six involving Standard
Model particles, we obtain rough lower bounds on the scale of beyond the
Standard Model CP-violating interactions ranging from 1.5 TeV for the electron
EDM to 1300 TeV for the nuclear spin-independent electron-quark interaction. We
show that future measurements involving systems or combinations of systems with
complementary sensitivities to the low-energy parameters may extend the mass
reach by an order of magnitude or more.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur
Electrons, New Physics, and the Future of Parity-Violation
The study of parity-violation in semi-leptonic processes has yielded
important insights into the structure of the Standard Model and the
substructure of the nucleon. I discuss the future of semi-leptonic
parity-violation and the role it might play in uncovering physics beyond the
Standard Model.Comment: To apperar in the Proceedings of the Bates25 Symposium. 18pgs. Uses
