Pionless Effective Field Theory with dibaryon field (dEFT) approach Pion (heavy degree of freedom) → integrate out Expansion of Q/Λ (Q: light, Λ: heavy) fast conversions

Applications for low energy nuclear physics

Extend the dEFT works, “parity violating (PV) interaction” was considered.

In this work,

We consider the two-nucleon weak interactions with a pionless effective field theory.

Introducing a di-baryon field for the deuteron, we can facilitate the convergence of the theory better than the one without di-baryon fields.

Contact interactions (LEC) Exchange of π, ω, ρ meson

Weak interactions

The weak interactions are accounted for with the parity-violating di-baryon-nucleon-nucleon vertices, which contain unknown weak coupling constants.

We calculate the parity-violating neutron spin asymmetry in

process, where we consider incident photon energies up to 30~MeV.

Coefficients of h010, h001 shows same feature. As the angle (lab) increase, dependency of the incident photon energies (lab) of neutron spin polarization decrease.

But, coefficient of h100 seem to be seen angle (lab) independent.

h100 : Coefficient of h0tdNN

h010 : Coefficient of h0sdNN

h001 : Coefficient of h1dNN

Preliminary results

Θlab increase

→ E1 contribution increase

→ M1 contribution decrease (go to zero)

For Θlab = 90°

→ E1 contribution dominants !

Cancelation between E1 and M1 ~ nearly constant

h100 : Coefficient of h0tdNN

Preliminary results

Θlab increase

→ E1 contribution increase

→ M1 contribution decrease

For Θlab = 90°

→ E1 contribution (65% ?)

h010 : Coefficient of h0sdNN

Preliminary results

Θlab increase

→ E1 contribution increase

→ M1 contribution decrease (go to zero)

For Θlab = 90°

→ E1 contribution dominants !

For Θlab = 30°

→ M1 contribution dominants !

h001 : Coefficient of h1dNN

Preliminary results

The weak interactions are accounted for with the parity-violating di-baryon-nucleon-nucleon vertices, which contain unknown weak coupling constants.

We calculate the parity-violating neutron spin asymmetry in process, where we consider incident photon energies up to 30~MeV.

4. Summary

pn γd

Overall characteristics, Θlab increase and E1 contribution increase but M1 contribution decrease.

M1 contribution gives significant role for PV neutron spin polarization.

A possible experiment or theory from which one can get information about the unknown weak coupling constants and hadronic weak interactions is discussed.
