Abstract
The role of decay as a low-energy probe of physics beyond the standard model is reviewed. Traditional searches for deviations from the standard model structure of the weak interaction in decay are discussed in light of constraints from the Large Hadron Collider and the neutrino mass. Limits on the violation of time-reversal symmetry in decay are compared to the strong constraints from electric dipole moments. Novel searches for Lorentz symmetry breaking in the weak interaction in decay are also included, where the unique sensitivity of decay to test Lorentz invariance is discussed. In the conclusion a possible road map for future -decay experiments is presented.
