Description

Parity-violating pion-proton scattering is strongly dominated by so-called penguin operators. These operators are due to the presence of the neutral current, and their strength is further enhanced by the QCD renormalization effects. Without such contributions the elastic asymmetry (Asub(l)) would be an order of magnitude smaller (up to 150 MeV of the pion laboratory kinetic energy). Possible contributions from the resonance poles (rho-meson, (1/2+)sup(*)-reson) have been also included. Thus pion scattering on the polarized proton can test the commonly-used effective QCD renormalized weak hamiltonian. (orig.)
