We have constructed fundamental test which can be used to probe discrete symmetries, and their possible violations, in the required new physics'' beyond the standard model. In a recent paper for applications at an e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} collider, we have proposed a simple test for maximal P -- maximal C'' violation in the Z{degree} {yields} {tau}{sub 1}{sup {minus}} {tau}{sub 1}{sup +} coupling. For {tau}{minus plus} {yields} {pi}{minus plus}{nu}, for example, this test is based on an azimuthal correlation function I({phi}{sub e}, {phi}) where the azimuthal angles are defined relative to the final {pi}{sub 1}{sup {minus}}. For e{sup {minus}}e{sup +} collisions in the {Gamma} or J/{Psi} regions, I({phi}{sub e}, {phi}) can be used to test for a complex phase in the {gamma}* {yields} {tau}{sup {minus}} {tau}{sup +} coupling. In other research programs, we are continuing to investigate our proposal that partons be identified with nearly degenerate, coherent quark-gluon jet'' states, and have proven a completeness relation for the q-analogue of the unusual coherent states.
