From Parity Violation to Hadronic Structure and more Refereed and selected contributions, Grenoble, France, June 8-11, 2004

Almost 50 years after the proposal of Lee and Young in 1956 to test the hypothesis of parity violation in weak interactions and the subsequent experimental verification of parity violation by C. S. Wu, parity violation has today become a useful property of weak interactions. This is due to the fact...
