Fundamental symmetry tests with neutrons can provide unique information about whatever will be the new Standard Model of fundamental interactions. I review two aspects of this possibility: searches for the permanent electric dipole moment…
Pairing plays a crucial role in nuclear spectra and attempts to describe it has a long history in nuclear physics. The limiting case in which all single particle states are degenerate, but with different s-wave pairing strengths was only…
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…
