Unified Treatment of the Parity Violating Nuclear Force

Abstract We discuss the weak amplitudes which determine the parity violating nuclear force. By use of the quark model and the SU(6)ω symmetry, we unite the treatment of pion and vector meson vertices, and describe the interrelation of past techniques which have been applied to this problem. This allows us to catalog the uncertainties in the amplitudes, and to provide reasonable bounds on their values. The connection of our results with experiment is also discussed.
