Abstract:I discuss some of the nuclear structure issues that arise in nuclear tests of parity nonconservation Je discute quelques-uns des effets de la structure nucliaire qu Can J Phys 66. 503 (1988) To date we have only one definitive measurement of parity nonconservation (PNC) in the two-nucleon system: the analyzing power in the $ + p system for longitudinally polarized protons (1). Since matrix elements of the weak NN interaction depend on five elementary S-P amplitudes, experimentalists have turned to few-nucle… Show more
The parity-violating pion exchange amplitude is computed using current algebra-PCAC techniques along with a nonrelativistic quark model involving neutral currents. This procedure is found to be compatible with data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
