- Parity violation in low energy NN interactions
- Time: 4:00 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Roxanne Springer, Duke University
- Abstract: At low energies, parity violation in NN scattering
(including photons) is described by an effective field theory (EFT)
that includes only contact interactions. I will describe this EFT,
how it improves upon the standard (non-physical) description, how it
echoes the Danilov treatment, and how its predictions compare to
existing (presently under-constraining) measurements. - Host: Michael Ramsey-Musolf
