T. D. Lee A lecture given at the Workshop on Possible Parity Restoration at High Energy, on June 11, 2007, Beijing (50 years since the discovery of parity nonconservation ) CKM Neutrino Mapping We assume P, C, T asymmetries are all due to spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Mechanism of spin 0 Higgs Fields . Without , all spin fields are Symmetry Conserving and of Zero Mass; these include graviton, photon, , quarks and leptons. Consequences Besides and , there should exist and of heavier masses . Can ILC be an effective means to detect and ? Why are Higgs not yet seen? Because of complex structure, New Symmetry: Neutrino Mass Operator is invariant under: A Unified View of and Hidden Symmetry Mass Operator in sector (likewise for ) : Thank you 31 0th approximation: T inv. all real New Symmetry: is invariant under with and 32 gives Proof 33 neglecting T violation With and * Symmetry and Asymmetry in Electroweak Interaction 1 ? Symmetry Violation : the discovery Present Status : the complexity Restoration of P, C, T Symmetries New Symmetry: A Unified View of and 2 3 (May 31, 1912 - Feb. 17, 1997) The initial setups of these two experiments on Co60 decay are exact mirror images, but the final electron distributions are not, as indicated by different readings on the counters. 4 Discovery of Parity Nonconservation 5 … … 6 7 TCP invariance √ established by W. Pauli in 1955 Parity Violation P X right-left asymmetry Charge Conjugation Violation C X particle-antiparticle asymmetry both discovered by Wu et. al. in 1957 Time Reversal Violation
