Description

Parity-violating interactions between nucleons are the manifestation of an interplay of strong and weak interactions between quarks in the nucleons. Compared to the dominant parity-conserving part, the parity-violating component of the nucleon-nucleon interaction is expected to be suppressed by approximately seven orders of magnitude or more. Due to the short range of the weak interactions, hadronic parity violation provides a unique probe of the strong dynamics that bind quarks into nucleons. An experimental program is mapping out this weak component of the nuclear force in few-nucleon systems. I will discuss theoretical progress based on effective field theory and large-$N_c$ methods to analyze and interpret hadronic parity violation in few-nucleon systems.
