Download or read book Parity Nonconservation in Atomic Phenomena written by Khriplovich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1991-11-04 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Khriplovich (physics, Novosibirsk U., USSR) describes his own work and that of others in demonstrating the first decisive confirmations of the unified model of atomic electroweak interactions. The studies of weak interaction by optical methods, at the boundary between elementary particle physics and atomic spectroscopy, have revealed parity nonconservation in atomic transitions. He considers the effects of space-inversion and time-reversal violations in atoms, molecules, and condensed matter. First published in Russian in 1981, and translated from the 1988 second edition.
