SSP2012 - 5th International Symposium on Symmetries in Subatomic Physics

The SUSY prediction for the muon magnetic moment is reviewed, and the complementarity between low-energy and LHC measurements for analyzing SUSY is discussed.

In recent years the use of atom and ion traps as well as advances in the applicability of the Geant Monte Carlo code for beta particle energies have resulted in a number of new precise determinations of the beta-neutrino correlation and beta-asymmetry parameter in nuclear beta decays. Such measurements are mainly sensitive to time-reversal invariant scalar and tensor weak currents and parity...

Measurements in nuclear and neutron decays offer a window to determine specific fundamental couplings, like the Vud matrix element of the CKM matrix, and to perform sensitive tests of discrete symmetries. This talk will focus on two topics of precision measurements in beta decay. The first concerns recent results from pure Fermi transitions as well as recent developments from nuclear mirror...
