Parity Nonconservation in the Photodisintegration of the Deuteron at Low Energy
The parity-nonconserving asymmetry in the deuteron photodisintegration,
, is considered with the photon energy ranged up to 10
MeV above the threshold. The aim is to improve upon a schematic estimate
assuming the absence of tensor as well as spin-orbit forces in the
nucleon-nucleon interaction. The major contributions are due to the
vector-meson exchanges, and the strong suppression of the pion-exchange
contribution is confirmed. A simple argument, going beyond the observation of
an algebraic cancellation, is presented. Contributions of meson-exchange
currents are also considered, but found to be less significant.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, typeset by REVTeX (two-column format) and BIBTe
Parity violation in scattering and vector-meson weak-coupling constants
We calculate the parity-nonconserving longitudinal asymmetry in the elastic
scattering at the energies where experimental data are available.
In addition to the standard one-meson exchange weak potential, the variation of
the strong-coupling constants and the non-standard effects such as form factors
and -exchange description of the -exchange potential are taken
into account. With the extra effects, we investigate the compatibility of the
experimental data and the presently-known range of the vector-meson
weak-coupling constants.Comment: Contribution to the proceedings of the 3rd Asia-Pacific conference on

Numerical studies of interacting vortices
To get a basic understanding of the physics of flowfields modeled by vortex filaments with finite vortical cores, systematic numerical studies of the interactions of two dimensional vortices and pairs of coaxial axisymmetric circular vortex rings were made. Finite difference solutions of the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were carried out using vorticity and stream function as primary variables. Special emphasis was placed on the formulation of appropriate boundary conditions necessary for the calculations in a finite computational domain. Numerical results illustrate the interaction of vortex filaments, demonstrate when and how they merge with each other, and establish the region of validity for an asymptotic analysis
Deuteron Anapole Moment with Heavy Mesons
Parity-nonconserving two-body currents due to vector meson exchange are
considered with the aim to determine the related contributions to the anapole
moment. A particular attention is given to the requirement of current
conservation which is essential for a reliable estimate of this quantity. An
application is made for the deuteron case.Comment: 23 pages, 5 EPS figures, uses REVTeX 4, v2: fixes layout problem
