Parity violation in nuclear systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Parity violation in nuclear systems is reviewed. A few ingredients relevant to the description of the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon force in terms of meson exchanges are reminded. Effects in nuclear systems are then considered. They involve pp scattering, some complex nuclei and the deuteron system. PACS. 24.80.+y Nuclear tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries

Symmetry Violation in Heavy Nuclei
For a long time heavy nuclei were considered for the study of symmetry violations mostly due to enhancement factors related to the complex nuclear structure. Classical examples are experiments that measure parity violating correlations in nuclear decays and in nuclear reactions. It is well known that due to nuclear enhancements the parity violating effects in nuclei could be as large as ∼ 10 in...
متن کاملHadronic Parity Violation: an Analytic Approach
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 ...
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 کاملReevaluation of the role of nuclear uncertainties in experiments on atomic parity violation with isotopic chains
In light of new data on neutron distributions from experiments with antiprotonic atoms @Trzcinska et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 082501 ~2001!#, we reexamine the role of nuclear-structure uncertainties in the interpretation of measurements of parity violation in atoms using chains of isotopes of the same element. With these new nuclear data, we find an improvement in the sensitivity of isotopic c...
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...
