Parity-Violating Interaction Effects in the np System
We investigate parity-violating observables in the np system, including the longitudinal asymmetry and neutron-spin rotation in ~np elastic scattering, the photon asymmetry in ~np radiative capture, and the asymmetries in deuteron photo-disintegration d(~γ, n)p in the threshold region and electrodisintegration d(~e, e)np in quasi-elastic kinematics. To have an estimate of the model dependence f...
متن کاملElectromagnetic radiative corrections in parity-violating electron-proton scattering
QED radiative corrections have been calculated for leptonic and hadronic variables in parityviolating elastic ep scattering. For the first time, the calculation of the asymmetry in the elastic radiative tail is performed without the peaking-approximation assumption in hadronic variables configuration. A comparison with the PV-A4 data validates our approach. This method has been also used to eva...
متن کاملVacuum 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 Elastic Electron Scattering and Coulomb Distortions
Parity violating elastic electron-nucleus scattering provides an accurate and model independent measurement of neutron densities, because the Z couples primarily to neutrons. Coulomb distortion corrections to the parity violating asymmetry Al are calculated exactly using a relativistic optical model. Distortions significantly reduce Al in a heavy nucleus. However even with distortions, an exper...
متن کاملModel-dependence of the γZ-dispersion correction to the proton’s weak charge
We analyze the dispersion correction to elastic parity violating electron-proton scattering due to γZ exchange and theoretical uncertainties associated with this correction. The new Standard Model prediction for the weak charge of the proton in the kinematics of the Q-Weak experiment, Q W = (0.0767± 0.0008± 0.0020γZ), the latter error being dominated by the uncertainty in the isospin structure ...
