Description

Measurements of parity-violating observables in electron scattering, atomic transitions, and electron-positron annihilation have played a decisive role in confirming and testing the Standard Model electroweak sector and in probing the strong interaction in the non-perturbative regime. After reviewing this story, I discuss the experimental frontier for parity-violation with electrons and the corresponding theoretical challenges.
