Recently it has been suggested that junctions between materials with different parity violating properties would be characterized by diffusion layers, analogous to those in the p-n junction. This remark is amplified by a fuller…
Using dispersion relations of the scattering amplitudes and semi-definite programming, we calculate causality bounds on the Wilson coefficients in scalar-tensor effective field theories that include parity-violating operators. Particular…
The neutral pion photoproduction on the proton near threshold has a very small scattering cross section when compared to the charged channels, which in ChPT is explained by strong cancellations between the lowest order pieces. Therefore it…
Parity violation experiments involving only two nucleons provide a way to study the non-leptonic, strangeness conserving part of the weak interaction in a clean measurement free of nuclear structure uncertainties. Although simple in…
We have extended a model for the $\gamma N\to \pi\pi N$ reaction to virtual photons and selected the diagrams which have a $\Delta$ in the final state. With this model we have evaluated cross sections for the virtual photon cross section as…

We investigate the problem of quantum back reactions due to particle production by the parametric resonance mechanism in an environment of nonequilibrium chiral phase transition. We work with the linear sigma model and employ Boyanovsky et…
[Background] Above the nucleon resonance region, the $N(e,e'\pi^\pm)N'$ data cannot be explained by conventional hadronic models. For example, the observed magnitude of the transverse cross section is significantly underestimated in a…
We present results for two-body observables that are sensitive to the parity-violating component of nucleon-nucleon interactions. These interactions are studied using an effective field theory in which the only dynamic degrees of freedom…
We report on a novel scheme based on the chiral Lagrangian. It is used to analyze pion-nucleon scattering, pion photoproduction, and nucleon Compton scattering. Subthreshold partial-wave amplitudes are calculated in chiral perturbation…
We study Pomeron-Odderon interference effects giving rise to charge and single-spin asymmetries in diffractive electroproduction of a pi+ pi- pair. We calculate these asymmetries originating from both longitudinal and transverse…
We perform a relativistic chiral effective-field theory calculation of the pion electroproduction off the nucleon ($e^- N \to e^- N \pi$) in the Delta(1232)-resonance region. After fixing the three low-energy constants, corresponding to the…
Results for the energy dependence of the elementary kaon production cross sections in proton-proton collisions are reported. Calculations are performed within an extended version of the resonance model which was used for the previous…
We evaluate the threshold matrix-element for the reaction $pp \to pp\pi^0$ in a fully relativistic Feynman diagrammatic approach. We employ a simple effective range approximation to take care of the S-wave $pp$ final-state interaction. The…
$pp\to pp\pi^0$ and $pp\to pp\eta$ were considered close to threshold. The pion production was found not only to be dominated by impulse approximation (IA) and rescattering contributions, but also strongly by box-diagrams, resonances and…
Parity-violating (PV) interactions among quarks in the nucleon induce a PV $\gamma NN$ coupling, or anapole moment (AM). We compute electroweak gauge-independent contributions to the AM through ${\cal O}(1/\lamchis)$ in chiral perturbation…
In the presence of Lorentz violation, the Cerenkov-like process $\gamma\rightarrow\gamma+\pi^{0}$ may become allowed for sufficiently energetic photons. Photons above the threshold would lose energy rapidly through pion emission. The fact…

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…
The parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interaction is the key to understanding the strangeness-conserving hadronic weak interaction at low energies. In this brief talk, I review the past accomplishments in and current status of this subject,…
