Several experimental investigations have observed parity violation (PV) in nuclear systems-a consequence of the weak force between quarks. We apply the 1/N(c) expansion of QCD to the P-violating T-conserving component of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential. We show there are two leading-order operators, both of which affect p[over →]p scattering at order N(c). We find an additional four operators at order N(c)(0)sin(2)θ(W) and six at O(1/N(c)). Pion exchange in the PV NN force is suppressed by 1/N(c) and sin(2)θ(W), providing a quantitative explanation for its nonobservation up to this time. The large-N(c) hierarchy of other PV NN force mechanisms is consistent with estimates of the couplings in phenomenological models. The PV observed in p[over →]p scattering data is compatible with natural values for the strong and weak coupling constants: there is no evidence of fine-tuning.
多项实验研究在核系统中观测到了宇称破坏(PV)——这是夸克之间弱力的一个结果。我们将量子色动力学(QCD)的1/N(c)展开应用于核子 - 核子(NN)势中违反宇称但守恒时间反演(T)的分量。我们表明存在两个领头阶算符,它们在N(c)阶都对p[上箭头]p散射有影响。我们在N(c)(0)sin(2)θ(W)阶发现了另外四个算符,在O(1/N(c))阶发现了六个算符。PV NN力中的π介子交换被1/N(c)和sin(2)θ(W)抑制,这为迄今未观测到它提供了一个定量解释。其他PV NN力机制的大N(c)层次结构与唯象模型中耦合的估计一致。在p[上箭头]p散射数据中观测到的PV与强耦合常数和弱耦合常数的自然值兼容:没有微调的证据。
