Abstract

We compute the photon asymmetry BγB_\gamma for near threshold parity violating (PV) pion photoproduction through sub-leading order. We show that sub-leading contributions involve a new combination of PV couplings not included in previous analyses of hadronic PV. We argue that existing constraints on the leading order contribution to BγB_\gamma -- obtained from the PV γ\gamma-decay of 18^{18}F -- suggest that the impact of the subleading contributions may be more significant than expected from naturalness argumen
