Fundamental Symmetries and Theory

Abstract

Nuclei are powerful laboratories for studying fundamental symmetries because they filter and enhance specific interactions. I discuss four examples --- hadronic parity violation, atomic electric dipole moments, precision $\beta$ decay tests, and nuclear tests of neutrino masses --- to illustrate some of the progress that has been made in the past few years.
