2 Applications of Parity Violation Outline Beta Decay and Parity Violation Standard Model and the Weak Force Experiments: PREX/CREX and MOLLER Quartz Cerenkov Detector R&D at ISU Summary and Outlook Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 1
3 Radioactive Decay Processes The Weak-nuclear force is responsible for all radioactive decays Beta decay is most common process Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 2
4 Beta Decay Examples β decay: n p + ν e + e β + decay: p n + ν e + e + Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 3
5 Beta Decay Nature s Window into the Weak-nuclear Force A Quick History 1899: Rutherford classifies three types of radioactive emissions: alpha, beta, and gamma 1931: Pauli postulates existence of neutrino to explain non-discrete energy spectra of β-decay electrons 1933: Fermi develops theory to explain β decay precursor to theory for weak interaction 1956: Neutrino discovered by experiment. ν e + p n + e : Parity Violation discovered in β decay of 60 Co... Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 4
6 Fermi s Interaction Precursor to Weak Theory Fermi s theory invented a physical mechanism for β decay. 4-fermion contact interaction at single space-time point. Modeled after electrodynamic field interactions where J E of charged particle interacts with A to create photon. For Fermi s theory, the weak current of pn-pair interacts with weak current of e ν-pair. Fermi s weak currents/potentials had vector form just as EM. Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 5
7 First Neutrino Observations 1956 Clyde L. Cowan, Frederick Reines (Awarded 1995 Nobel Prize) Experiment conducted near nuclear reactor ( ν s /s/cm 2 ) Two water tanks 12m underground and 11m from reactor Used inverse beta decay reaction: ( ν e + p n + e + ) The e + annihilated with an e producing two γ rays (detected) Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 6
8 Parity Symmetry P : x y z x y z Parity operation: Spacial reflection through the origin Even functions: Pf(x,y,z) = +f(x,y,z) Odd functions: Pf(x,y,z) = f(x,y,z) Classically, scalar quantities (m, E, ρ, V, M,...) are mainly even while vector quantities ( x, a, F, E, A,...) are mainly odd Quantum Mechanically, if P commutes with the Hamiltonian, then Parity is conserved (invariant or symmetric) Fundamental symmetry of nature known to be conserved in electromagnetism, strong interactions, and gravity Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 7
9 Parity Violation Discovered in β-decay: 1957 Chien-Shiung (Madame) Wu Experiment Took place at NBS (now NIST) Studied β decay of super-cooled, spin-aligned 60 Co nuclei Co Ni + e + ν e + 2γ Achieved K and 60% pol Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 8
10 Parity Violation Discovered in β-decay: 1957 Parity found to be maximally violated T.D. Lee and C.N. Yang awarded 1957 Nobel Prize Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 9
11 β Decay and Standard Model Julian Schwinger modifies Fermi s theory to incorporate parity violating potential term (V-A) and idea of intermediate vector bosons; Glashow, Weinberg, and Salam 1979 Nobel Prize W ± only couples to left-handed particles and right-handed anti-particles Z 0 couples predominantly to left-handed particles Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 10
12 Standard Model of Elementary Particles Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 11
13 Parity Violation and Electron Scattering Electron scattering experiments make first measurement of neutral (Z 0 ) weak current in late 1970 s (at SLAC). PVeS experiments scatter longitudinally spin-polarized electron beams (with relatively low energies) off unpolarized, fixed nuclear targets. Since Z 0 couples to opposite spin (helicity) particles with different strengths, one can measure cross section (σ) differences for opposite helicity beams to access the neutral weak current. Following technological breakthroughs (at SLAC), high beam polarizations and fast helicity reversals become possible. PVeS experiments measure an Asymmetry: A P V = σ R σ L σ R +σ L Since weak scattering process is only tiny fraction of total σ, PV asymmetries are tiny and difficult to measure accurately. Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 12
14 A P V : Dominated by Electroweak Interference Amplitude for Scattering Process: S tot S em + S w, but cross section σ S tot 2 = S em 2 + S w 2 + 2S em S w Since σ em R = σem L and S w 2 is negligible, A P V 2S ems w 2 S em 2 = S w S em 10 4 Q 2 where Q 2 is 4-momentum transferred during interaction (GeV) Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 13

Obvious Motivations here: SUSY, Dark sector,... Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 14
16 What is the size of a 208 Pb nucleus (82p+126n)? What do we mean by size? The mass radius, the charge radius? PREx (Pb Radius Experiment) addresses this question in a unique way: Uses a Weak nuclear force probe to measure how much neutrons stick out past protons (The Neutron skin ) CREx (Calcium Radius Experiment) performs same measurement but on 48 Ca nucleus Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 15
17 Mass versus EM Charge Radii of 208 Pb Electromagnetism: Force mediated by γ exchange; Protons have EM charge +e while neutrons have 0... Weak Nuclear: Force mediated by Z 0 and W ± ; Neutrons have 12 times more Weak charge than protons Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 16
18 PREx Measurement (Pb Radius Ex) Uses 1 GeV elastically scattered electrons (at ±5deg) off 0.5 mm thick isotopically pure 208 Pb target e beam is longitudinally spin-polarized, target is unpolarized Measurement relies on the maximal parity-symmetry violating nature of the Weak force e s dominant interaction is EM, but it can also interact via the Weak force; but it does so predominately for only one of the polarization states and not the other Dustin McNulty Applications of Parity Violation Pocatello, ID 17
