Description

We show that asymmetries in the nuclear resonance fluorescence processes with a circular polarized photon beam may be used as a tool for studying parity non-conservation (PNC) in nuclei. The PNC asymmetry measurements both in exciting the parity doublet states and in exciting the discrete states near the ground states with parity mixing are discussed. We derive the formulae needed for measuring the PNC asymmetries
