Description

Recent and ongoing experiments testing various fundamental discrete symmetries are discussed, including search for parity nonconservation in dysprosium and ytterbium, investigation of possibilities of searches for parity and time-reversal invariance violation in samarium, and a test of permutation properties of photons in a two-photon transition in barium
