Semileptonic electroweak interactions with nucleons and nuclei

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The basic formalism needed to describe parity-violating electron scattering from nucleons and nuclei is presented and the experiments anticipated in the next few years discussed. The underlying structure of the relevant leptonic and hadronic tensors is developed in some detail for both parity-conserving and -violating situations to highlight the new physics that becomes accessible in the latter case. When applying the basic formalism to specific (practical) examples, the theme of determining the strangeness content of the nucleon is stressed.
