Mesonic Anapole Form Factors of the Nucleons
نویسنده
چکیده
The chiral quark model posits pseudoscalar and vector meson couplings to constituent quarks. The parity violating meson-quark couplings lead to anapole moments and form factors of the nucleons. These arise both as parity violating meson loop fluctuations as well as exchange currents and polarization currents that are induced by the parity violating interaction between quarks. Because of cancellations between the different contributions the magnitude of the calculated anapole moments is only of the order ∼ 10−8 and is determined mainly by magnitude of the parity-violating meson-nucleon coupling constants.

Extracting nucleon strange and anapole form factors from world data.
The complete world set of parity-violating electron scattering data up to Q2 approximately 0.3 GeV2 is analyzed. We extract the current experimental determination of the strange electric and magnetic form factors of the proton, as well as the weak axial form factors of the proton and neutron, at Q2=0.1 GeV2. Within experimental uncertainties, we find that the strange form factors are consistent...
متن کاملParity Violation in Effective Field Theory and the Deuteron Anapole Moment
Effective field theory, including pions, provides a consistent and systematic description of nucleon-nucleon strong interactions up to center-of-mass momentum p ∼ 300 MeV per nucleon. We describe the inclusion of hadronic parity violation into this effective field theory and find an analytic form for the deuteron anapole moment at leading order in the expansion.
متن کاملThe Nucleon Anapole Form Factor in Chiral Perturbation Theory to Sub-leading Order
The anapole form factor of the nucleon is calculated in chiral perturbation theory to sub-leading order. This is the lowest order in which the isovector anapole form factor does not vanish. The anapole moment depends on counterterms that reflect short-range dynamics, but the momentum dependence of the form factor is determined by pion loops in terms of parameters that could in principle be fixe...

Knowledge about parity-violating effects both from theory and experiment is reviewed. Further information that could be obtained from measurements of nuclear anapole moments is discussed.
متن کاملParity Violation in Low - Energy np → dγ and the Deuteron Anapole Moment
Parity violation in low-energy nuclear observables is included in the pionless effective field theory. The model-independent relation between the parityviolating asymmetry in ~np → dγ and the non-nucleon part of the deuteron anapole moment is discussed. The asymmetry in ~np → dγ computed with KSW power-counting, and recently criticized by Desplanques, is discussed.
