Hadronic Parity Violation: an Analytic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Using a recent reformulation of the analysis of nuclear parity-violation (PV) using the framework of effective field theory (EFT), we show how predictions for parity-violating observables in low energy light hadronic systems can be understood in an analytic fashion. It is hoped that such an analytic approach may encourage additional experimental work as well as add to the understanding of such parity-violating phenomena, which is all too often obscured by its description in terms of numerical results obtained from complex two-body potential codes.

Parity Violation in Effective Field Theory and the Deuteron Anapole Moment
Effective field theory, including pions, provides a consistent and systematic description of nucleon-nucleon strong interactions up to center-of-mass momentum p ∼ 300 MeV per nucleon. We describe the inclusion of hadronic parity violation into this effective field theory and find an analytic form for the deuteron anapole moment at leading order in the expansion.
متن کاملHADRONIC PARITY VIOLATION: A New View Through the Looking Glass
■ Abstract Studies of the strangeness-changing hadronic weak interaction have produced a number of puzzles that have evaded a complete explanation within the Standard Model. Their origin may lie either in dynamics peculiar to weak interactions involving strange quarks or in more general aspects of the interplay between strong and weak interactions. In principle, studies of the strangeness-conse...
متن کاملOverview of hadronic parity violation
The subject of hadronic parity violation is nearly fifty years old, but a good deal of uncertainty remains, despite many efforts both theoretical and experimental. A brief summary of the field is presented and a plan is proposed for new experimental work which, when combined with a new theoretical tack based on effective field theory, should lead to resolution of the present difficulties. PACS....
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 کاملMeasurements of Parity-Violation Parameters at SLD
We present direct measurements of the parity-violation parameters Ab, Ac, and As at the Z resonance with the SLD detector. The measurements are based on approximately 530k hadronic Z events collected in 1993-98. Obtained results are Ab = 0:914 0:024 (SLD combined: preliminary),Ac = 0:635 0:027 (SLD combined: preliminary), and As = 0:895 0:066(stat:) 0:062(sys:). Presented at the XXXth Internati...
