A newly-proposed parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interaction based on effective field theory is studied in this work. It is found that at low energy, i.e., E_lab less than 90 MeV for 1S0-3P0 transitions and E_lab less than 40 MeV for…

Effective field theory, including pions, provides a consistent and systematic description of nucleon-nucleon strong interactions up to center-of-mass momentum of order 300 MeV per nucleon. We describe the inclusion of hadronic parity…
It has been shown that CP violating electron-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon interactions can induce atomic electric dipole moments and are therefore constrained from experimental data. We show that using the experimental upper bounds on…
Parity violation in elastic electron-nucleon scattering is studied with the basic goal of improving the understanding of electroweak hadronic structure with special emphasis on the strangeness content in the nucleon. Models for the…
