Spin and Fundamental Symmetries

  • 1. Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973 (United States)

Description

Two very different applications of spin for testing the Standard Model and uncovering 'New Physics' are discussed. The first employs spin to monitor and measure (or bound) electromagnetic dipole moments. The second, more theoretical use, relates QCD corrections derived for spin structure functions and the Bjorken Sum Rule to hadronic effects in the CKM unitarity test |Vud|2+|Vus|2+|Vub|2 = 1 and thereby reduces its uncertainty to ±0.06%.
