Description

In this talk I will describe how recent experiments carried out at REX-ISOLDE at CERN have found new examples of reflection asymmetry in heavy nuclei. I will discuss how the new measurements are constraining nuclear theory and how they can contribute to tests of extensions of the Standard Model.
