Parity Violating Photoproduction of {pi}{sup {+-}} on the {Delta} Resonance

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
OSTI ID:839059
We analyze the real-photon asymmetry A{sub {gamma}}{sup {+-}} for the parity-violating (PV) {pi}{sup {+-}} production on the {Delta} resonance via the reactions {rvec {gamma}} + p {yields} {Delta}{sup +} {yields} {pi}{sup +} + n and {rvec {gamma}} + d {yields} {Delta}{sup 0} + p {yields} {pi}{sup -} + p + p. This asymmetry is nonvanishing due to a PV {gamma}N{Delta} coupling constant, d{sub {Delta}}{sup {+-}}. We argue that an experimental determination of this coupling would be of interest for hadron dynamics, possibly shedding light on the S-wave/P-wave puzzle in the hyperon nonleptonic decays and the violation of Hara's theorem in weak radiative hyperon decays.
