Abstract

A minimal set of five low energy constants (LECs) for time-reversal and parity violating ( ⁣ ⁣ ⁣\not{T}\!\!\!\not{P}) nucleon-nucleon (N ⁣NN\!N) interactions at low energies (E ⁣< ⁣mπ2/MNE\!<\!m_{\pi}^2/M_N) is given. Using a large-NCN_C (number of colors in QCD) analysis we show that one linear combination of LECs is O(NC)\mathcal{O}(N_C), three LECs are O(NC0)\mathcal{O}(N_C^{0}), and one linear combination of LECs is O(NC1)\mathcal{O}(N_C^{-1}). We also calculate the  ⁣ ⁣ ⁣\not{T}\!\!\!\not{P} observables of neutron spin rotation through a polarized deuteron target and a spin correlation coefficient in nucleon-deuteron scattering using pionless effective field theory. Using the large-NCN_C analysis we show that the spin correlation coefficient and the neutron spin rotation are predominantly determined by same two LECs in the large-NCN_C basis.
