S2.00001: Universality of the weak interaction Invited Speaker: One test of the universality of weak interactions is to demonstrate that the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is unitary. The first-row test that the sum of the squares of the first-row elements add to one requires precision experiments in nuclei, neutrons, pions and kaons and precision calculations of symmetry-breaking and radiative corrections. This talk will give the current status of the first-row test and elaborate on the theoretical corrections. [Preview Abstract] |

S2.00002: Superallowed Nuclear Beta Decay: a Window on the Weak Interaction Invited Speaker: For more than 50 years, superallowed 0$^{+}\to $0$^{+}$ beta decay has been used to probe the weak interaction. By now, more than a dozen such superallowed transitions are known to $\sim $0.1{\%} precision. The results provide an exacting confirmation of the Conserved Vector Current hypothesis and are also a key component in the most demanding available test of the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. This talk will present the current status of measured results, describe some contemporary experiments and indicate the prospects for future improvements. [Preview Abstract] |
