Parity non-conservation in beta-decay of nuclei: revisiting experiment and theory fifty years after. IV. Parity breaking models

TL;DR

This paper reviews models addressing parity non-conservation in nuclear beta-decay, discussing theoretical proposals and the significance of symmetry-breaking in physics, with implications for upcoming LHC experiments.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive survey of parity-breaking models and discusses their relevance to current and future experimental efforts.

Findings

Survey of models like two-component neutrinos and Fermi interaction

Discussion of discrete symmetry-breaking in physics

Implications for LHC experiments on symmetry mechanisms

Abstract

This part offers a survey of models proposed to cope with the symmetry-breaking challenge. Among them are the two-component neutrinos, the neutrino twins, the universal Fermi interaction, etc. Moreover, the broken discrete symmetries in physics are very much on the agenda and may occupy considerable time for LHC experiments next year aimed at revealing the symmetry-breaking mechanisms.
