Parity Violation, hummm..., you've already heard about it
but have no idea of what we do with it here at SPhN.
Let's go to the blackboard and review the basics...

The world in the mirror

Parity violation is a unique tool to study the structure of the nucleon and the weak interaction.
The new generation parity experiments cover a wide domain of physics
from strangeness of the nucleon to precise test of the Standard Model:

Experiments at JLab:

HAPPExI

HAPPExII and HAPPEx-He

Experiments at SLAC:

E158

Our Technical Realizations:

Compton Polarimeter

Electron detector for HAPPEx2

International Workshop

Hadronic Strucuture and more..."
Second session: Grenoble, June 8-11, 2004
