Workshop on "Theoretical Problems in Fundamental Neutron Physics"
Program	Registration	Local Information	Hotels

The University of South Carolina (USC) is organizing an international workshop October 14-15, 2005

The purpose of the workshop is to identify and elucidate current theroetical issues associated with fundamental symmetry violation experiments involving low energy neutrons. The workshop will focus on theoretical issues related to neutron beta decay, hadronic parity violation, the neutron electric dipole moment, and neutron-antineutron oscillations. Some invited experimental talks will give overviews of the current status and the expected progress of future experiments.

Since the advent of intense cold neutron facilities nearly 30 years ago, a wide variety of fundamental neutron physics measurements have shed much light on important issues in nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Currently a new generation of such experiments is being planned and new sources of cold neutrons, including the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), are under construction. The extraction of fundamental information from these experiments requires careful and often delicate theoretical interpretations. Giver the prospect of new and more accurate measurements, it is appropriate to review the status of the theory associated with these experimental improvements with an eye towards the clarification of unresolved issues as well as the identification of the breadth of physics that can be addressed at (SNS).

The workshop is organized by the University of South Carolina with support from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Joint Institute for Neutron Science, University of South Carolina, South Carolina's EPSCoR/IDeA Program, and Sub-Z0 Working Group.

The Workshop will take place in the Russell House Theater at the University of South Carolina. The Russell House is located on the university campus and is a short walking distance from Holiday Inn.
