Parity Violation in Neutron Capture Reactions
In the last decade, the scattering of polarized neutrons on compound nucleus resonances proved to be a powerful experimental technique for probing nuclear parity violation. Longitudinal analyzing powers in neutron transmission measurements on p-wave resonances in nuclei such as La and Th were found to be as large as 10%. Here we examine the possibilities of carrying out a parallel program to me...
متن کاملParity Violation, the Neutron Radius of Lead, and Neutron Stars
The neutron radius of a heavy nucleus is a fundamental nuclear-structure observable that remains elusive. Progress in this arena has been limited by the exclusive use of hadronic probes that are hindered by large and controversial uncertainties in the reaction mechanism. The Parity Radius Experiment at the Jefferson Laboratory offers an attractive electro-weak alternative to the hadronic progra...
متن کاملMeasurement of Parity Violation in np Capture: the NPDGamma Experiment
The NPDGamma experiment will measure the parity-violating directional gamma ray asymmetry A γ in the reaction [Formula: see text]. Ultimately, this will constitute the first measurement in the neutron-proton system that is sensitive enough to challenge modern theories of nuclear parity violation, providing a theoretically clean determination of the weak pion-nucleon coupling. A new beam-line at...
متن کاملParity nonconserving observables in thermal neutron capture on a proton
Abstract We calculate parity nonconserving observables in the processes where a neutron is captured on a proton at the threshold energy radiating a photon. Various potential models such as Paris, Bonn and Argonne v18 are used for the strong interactions, and the meson-exchange description is employed for the weak interactions between hadrons. The photon polarization Pγ in the unpolarized neutro...
متن کاملParity violation in atoms
Optical experiments have demonstrated cases in which mirror symmetry in stable atoms is broken during the absorption or emission of light. Such results, which are in conflict with quantum electrodynamics, support the theory of unification of the electromagnetic and weak interactions. The interpretation of the experimental results is based on exchanges of weak neutral Z0 bosons between the elect...
