Measurement of the Parity-odd Neutron Spin Rotation in Liquid Helium

ORAL

Abstract

A weak interaction between nucleons is induced by the quark- quark weak interaction in the Standard Model. At present the NN weak interaction is poorly constrained by experiment. We conducted an experiment to search for parity violation in the rotation of the plane of polarization of slow neutrons in liquid 4He at the Center for Neutron Research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. We will discuss the analysis of data from this experiment.
