Estimate of the parity-violating. cap alpha. -decay width of the 0/sup +/, T = 1 state of /sup 6/Li

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
A full two-body shell-model calculation has been used to estimate the pion-exchange contribution to the parity-violating ..cap alpha.. decay of the 0/sup +/, T = 1 state of /sup 6/Li. For a neutral-current-induced weak pion amplitude equal to the ''best'' value given by Desplanques, Donoghue, and Holstein, the ..cap alpha.. width is 1.3 x 10/sup -8/ eV. There is no contribution in lowest order from the intrinsic parity impurity in the ..cap alpha.. particle, but there is a small contribution from the deuteron.
