Seminar: Fundamental Tests of the Electroweak Interaction at RIB Facilities Using β Decay
Redner
Kyle Leach (Colorado School of Mines)
Despite its success, the Standard Model is known to be incomplete, and providing limits on possible physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) is crucial to our understanding of the physical universe. Although they are generally complex, unstable nuclear systems provide some of the best venues for these experiments through detailed studies of nuclear beta decay. As a part of this work, providing stringent experimental tests of CKM unitarity and searching for possible scalar or tensor contributions to the weak interaction are at the forefront. In this seminar I will present some of the methods in which we can attack these issues at low energies using radioactive beam experiments. Further, I will also discuss how our advances in experimental ion-trapping techniques have allowed us to look at second order electroweak processes in the radioactive decay of highly charged ions.
