We include one-pion exchange at leading order and the two-pion exchange and two-nucleon contact terms at next-to-next-to-leading order. The effects of intermediate (two-pion exchange) and short-range (two-nucleon contact) terms are probed by calculating the photon asymmetry $A_\\gamma$ in $\\vec{n} p \\to d \\gamma$ employing Siegert's theorem and an accurate phenomenological potential for the parity-conserving NN interaction. We explore in detail the uncertainties due to the parameters that control the contribution of the short-range interaction. We obtain about 20% uncertainty in the value of $A_\\gamma$ up to the next-to-next-to leading order. We discuss the implication of this uncertainty for the determination of the weak pion-nucleon coupling constant and how the uncertainty can be reduced.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-06-12T02:51:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.15.Ji", "21.30.Fe" ], "keywords": [ "hadronic parity violation", "effective field theory", "next-to-next-to leading order", "uncertainty", "two-pion exchange" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 731139 } } }
