We construct the complete SU(2) parity-violating (PV) $\pi, N, \Delta$ interaction Lagrangian with one derivative, and calculate the chiral corrections to the PV Yukawa $NN\pi$ coupling constant $h_\pi$ through ${\cal O}(1/\Lambda_\chi^3)$…
The most important problem of spectroscopic chiral analysis is the inherently weak chiral signals are easily overwhelmed by the environment noises. Enormous efforts had been spent to overcome this problem by enhancing the symmetry break in…
We calculate the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon potential in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory up to the next-to-next-to-leading order. The one-pion exchange comes in the leading order and the next-to-next-to-leading order consists…
We have studied the possible signals of unparticle in atomic parity violation(APV) along an isotope chain and in the NuTeV experiment. The effects of unparticle physics could be observed in APV, if the uncertainty in relative neutron/proton…

Parity violating left-right scattering asymmetries at future high energy e+e- and e-e- colliders are examined. The utility of two polarized beams for precision measurements is pointed out. Sensitivity to ``new'' short-distance physics is…
Quark interactions with topological gluon fields in QCD can yield local $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{CP}$ violations which could explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in our universe. Effects of $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{CP}$ violations…

We measure the difference in the scattering probability when an experiment scattering longitudinally polarized 221 MeV protons from liquid hydrogen is replaced by its mirror image. The result depends on the interplay between the weak and…
Spectroscopic techniques that are sensitive to molecular chirality are important analytical tools to quantitatively determine enantiomeric excess and purity of chiral molecular samples. Many chiroptical processes however produce weak…
Interest in searches for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) has continued in the past few decades since the observation of CLFV will indicate new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). As several future lepton colliders with high…
The recent measurement of atomic parity violation in cesium atoms shows a $2.3\sigma$ deviation from the standard model prediction. We show that such an effect can be explained by four-fermion contact interactions with specific chiralities…
I start by reviewing existing $\vec{p}p$ measurements with particular emphasis on the recent 221 MeV $\vec{p}p$ measurement at TRIUMF which permitted the weak meson-nucleon coupling constants $h^{pp}_\rho$ and $h^{pp}_\omega$ to be…
