Abstract

Parity violating effects for low energy elastic neutron deuteron scattering are calculated for DDH and EFT-type of weak potentials in a Distorted Wave Born Approximation, using realistic hadronic strong interaction wave functions, obtained by solving three-body Faddeev equations in configuration space. The results of relation between physical observables and low energy constants can be used to fix low energy constants from experiments. Potential model dependencies of parity violating effects are discussed.
