Nuclei as Laboratories: Nuclear Tests of Fundamental Symmetries

Abstract

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, Argonne National Laboratory (April, 2006); 13 page
