Abstract
The parity-violating Lagrangian of the weak nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction in the pionless effective field theory (EFT(\({/\!\!\!\pi}\))) approach contains five independent unknown low-energy coupling constants (LECs). The photon asymmetry with respect to neutron polarization in \({np\rightarrow d\gamma A_\gamma^{np}}\), the circular polarization of outgoing photon in \({np\rightarrow d\gamma P_\gamma^{np}}\), the neutron spin rotation in hydrogen \({\frac{1}{\rho}\frac{d\phi^{np}}{dl}}\) , the neutron spin rotation in deuterium \({\frac{1}{\rho}\frac{d\phi^{nd}}{dl}}\) and the circular polarization of γ-emission in \({nd\rightarrow}\) 3 Hγ \({P^{nd}_\gamma}\) are the parity-violating observables which have been recently calculated in terms of parity-violating LECs in the EFT(\({/\!\!\!\pi}\)) framework. We obtain the LECs by matching the parity-violating observables to the Desplanques, Donoghue, and Holstein (DDH) best value estimates. Then, we evaluate photon asymmetry with respect to the neutron polarization \({a^{nd}_\gamma}\) and the photon asymmetry in relation to deuteron polarization \({A^{nd}_\gamma}\) in \({nd\rightarrow}\) 3 Hγ process. We finally compare our EFT(\({/\!\!\!\pi}\)) photon asymmetries results with the experimental values and the previous calculations based on the DDH model.
