Average over energy effect of parity nonconservation in neutron scattering on heavy nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
Using semiclassical approximation we consider parity nonconservation (PNC) averaged over compound resonances. We demonstrate that the result of the averaging crucially depends on the properties of residual strong nucleonnucleon interaction. Natural way to elucidate this problem is to investigate experimentally PNC spin rotation with nonmonachromatic neutron beam: E ∼ ∆E ∼ 1MeV . Value of the effect can reach ψ ∼ 10 − 10 per mean free path. Typeset using REVTEX

Vacuum polarization radiative correction to the parity violating electron scattering on heavy nuclei
Experimental investigations of the proton ρp(r) and neutron ρn(r) densities in heavy nuclei are very important for testing of various nuclear models. The densities are also important for many applications like, for example, precise calculations of atomic parity nonconservation. While the charge distribution (proton density) is known pretty well mainly due to data on the elastic electron scatter...
متن کاملParity Violating Measurements of Neutron Densities and Nuclear Structure
Parity violating electron nucleus scattering is a clean and powerful tool for measuring the spatial distributions of neutrons in nuclei with unprecedented accuracy. Parity violation arises from the interference of electromagnetic and weak neutral amplitudes, and the Z of the Standard Model couples primarily to neutrons at low Q. Experiments are now feasible at existing facilities. We show that ...

Parity violating electron nucleus scattering is a clean and powerful tool for measuring the spatial distributions of neutrons in nuclei with unprecedented accuracy. Parity violation arises from the interference of electromagnetic and weak neutral amplitudes, and the Z0 of the Standard Model couples primarily to neutrons at low Q2. The data can be interpreted with as much confidence as electroma...
متن کاملEffect of nuclear quadrupole moment on parity nonconservation in atoms
Nuclei with spin I ≥ 1 have a weak quadrupole moment which leads to tensor contribution to the parity non-conserving interaction between nuclei and electrons. We calculate this contribution for Yb, Fr and Ra and found it to be small. In contrast, in many lanthanides (e.g., Nd, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Pr, Sm) and Ra close levels of opposite parity lead to strong enhancement of the effect making it suffi...
متن کاملEnhancement of symmetry violation in a chaotic system
Enhancement of parity violation effects are calculated in an extended shell model space. Strong enhancements in the longitudinal asymmetry are found when the nucleus is in a regime of large density of states and when nuclear states are very complicated exhibiting features of complete mixing characteristac of the chaotic stage. The nature and mechanism of the enhancement are discussed and compar...
