Nuclear Theory & the New Standard Model: Neutrinos & Fundamental Symmetries in the Next Decade Michael Ramsey-Musolf, Newport News 2007 Fifty years of PV in nuclear physics Solar s & the neutrino revolution The next decade presents NP with a unique opportunity to discover key ingredients of the “new Standard Model” Theory leadership is essential to realizing this opportunity

2007 Long Range Plan New Standard Model Initiative High potential for major discoveries and new insights We recommend a targeted program of experiments to investigate neutrino properties and fundamental symmetries. These experiments aim to discover the nature of the neutrino, yet unseen violations of time- reversal symmetry, and other key ingredients of the new standard model of fundamental interactions. Construction of a Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory is vital to U.S. leadership in core aspects of this initiative.

Opportunity: Unique role for low energy studies in the LHC era Two frontiers in the search for new physics Collider experiments (pp, e + e -, etc) at higher energies (E >> M Z ) High energy physics Particle, nuclear & atomic physics CERN Ultra cold neutronsLarge Hadron Collider Indirect searches at lower energies (E < M Z ) but high precision (and beyond!)
5
Scientific Questions What are the masses of neutrinos and how have they shaped the evolution of the universe? decay, 13, decay,… Why is there more matter than antimatter in the present universe? EDM, DM, LFV, , 13 … What are the unseen forces that disappeared from view as the universe cooled? Weak decays, PVES, g -2,…

Interpreting Experimental Results Refined computations of St’d Model predictions, strong interaction effects, & many-body contributions Comprehensive & systematic calculations of possible effects in candidate scenarios for the new standard model Guiding Development of Exp’tl Program Identifying appropriate combinations of measurements, suitable “kinematics”, and relevant level of precision Delineating Broader Implications Placing in context of high energy collider & cosmological studies & identifying unique info provided by nuclear studies Vital Role for Nuclear Theory
