Abstract

The general form that a parity nonconserving internucleon potential must take because of invariance requirements is obtained. A detailed calculation is then made of the parity nonconserving potential arising from a self-interacting current description of weak interactions. If the pclar vector part of the current (J/sub mu //sup V/) is conserved, then parity nonconservation of the order 1 part in 10/sup 7/( approx equal 10/sup -7/) is to be expected in nuclear processes. Failure to observe such an effect would indicate either that J/sub mu //sup V/ is not conserved or that the self-interacting current description is incorrect. (auth)
