Parity nonconserving potentials in nucleon-nucleus interactions

Abstract

This work represents a review of modern approaches to the description of parity non-conserving effects in the weak interaction of nucleons on a basis of one-boson exchange potential between nucleons. The parity non-conserving T-noninvariant potentials of one-pion exchange between nucleons are treated. The estimates of these potentials' constants are presented in the standard model (θ-term) and in the Kobayashi-Maskawa formalism. The parity non-conserving one-particle potentials of the weak interaction of neutrons and protons with nuclei are discussed. The effective constants of the interaction are obtained for these potentials. The possible experiments on the refinement of the potentials and quark-nucleus formalism in the theory of parity non-conserving effects in the weak interaction of nucleons are discussed.
