Low - Energy Parity - Violation and New Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
The new physics sensitivity of a variety of low-energy parity-violating (PV) observables is analyzed. A comparison is made between atomic PV for a single isotope, atomic PV using isotope ratios, and PV electron-hadron and electron-electron scattering. The complementarity among these observables, as well as with high-energy processes, is emphasized. Theoretical uncertainties entering the interpretation of low-energy measurements are discussed.

Sensitivity of Low-energy Parity-violation to New Physics
I review the new physics sensitivity of low-energy parity-violating (PV) observables. I concentrate on signatures of new tree-level physics in atomic PV with a single isotope, ratios of atomic PV observables, and PV electron scattering. In addition to comparing the new physics sensitivities of these observables with those of high-energy colliders, I also discuss the theoretical issues involved ...
متن کاملDistinguishing Indirect Signatures of New Physics at the NLC : Z ′ Versus R - Parity Violation ∗
R-parity violation and extensions of the Standard Model gauge structure offer two non-minimal realizations of supersymmetry at low energies that can lead to similar new physics signatures at existing and future colliders. We discuss techniques that can be employed at the NLC below direct production threshold to distinguish these two new physics scenarios. ∗Work supported by the Department of En...

متن کاملAtomic parity violation in cesium and implications for new physics
Recent high-precision measurements of atomic parity-nonconserving transitions between the 6S and 7S states of cesium allow for a determination of the weak nuclear charge with a precision of 1.3%, providing an improved test of the standard model at low energy. Implications for new physics are examined in terms of low energy effects on the weak charge, in particular contact interactions and scala...
