P10.00001: The Question Answered Invited Speaker: Fifty years ago, theoreticians T.D. Lee and C.N. Yang reached the conclusion that no experimental evidence existed to show that parity is conserved in weak interactions. The speaker will explain how it happened that that a team of physicists at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards in Washington, DC came to perform the revolutionary experiment that demonstrated the failure of parity conservation in nuclear beta-decay.

P10.00002: Chien-Shiung Wu as a Person and a Scientist Invited Speaker: Chien-Shiung Wu is well known for her outstanding contributions to Nuclear Physics in Parity Violation and Beta Decay. I will discuss my view of her as seen from my vantage point as her son. [Preview Abstract] |

P10.00003: Looking through the Mirror: Future Directions in Parity Violations Invited Speaker: Over the past fifty years, studies of parity violation (PV) involving atoms, nuclei, and elementary particles have taught us a great deal about the electroweak and strong interactions. The future of this field promises to be equally rich. In this talk, I discuss new initiatives using PV to study weak interactions among quarks, to probe the structure of the nucleon, and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model.
