Description

I will describe several conceptual schemes for detecting parity violating muon-nucleus interactions. 1. Muonic atoms, where Z=30 and higher atoms offer a possibility to look for 2S->1S parity violating transition. 2. Scattering of polarized muons, where muon spin is manipulated in a storage-ring type set-up. 3. Using optical activity type rotation of the transverse linear polarization of muons.
