U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research: Nuclear and Atomic Electric Dipole Moments

该奖项为华盛顿大学的威克·哈克斯顿博士对澳大利亚进行为期三个月的研究访问提供部分支持，目的是与墨尔本大学的布鲁斯·h·j·麦凯勒博士合作。这次访问是对麦凯勒教授1992年初访问华盛顿大学的交换。两位研究者都是公认的弱相互作用现象的专家，这次访问将扩展弱相互作用的几个主题的合作研究。研究人员打算在原子电偶极矩理论上进行合作，目的是定义测量结果与违反拉格朗日量的基本CP（电荷/宇称）参数之间的关系。他们还打算考虑目前对奇偶-非守恒NN（中子/中子）相互作用的处理，因为最近的手性拉格朗日理论认为，核子中的s -夸克成分会导致新的相互作用，包括重要的三体核项。

This award provides partial support for a three month research visit by Dr. Wick Haxton of the University of Washington to Australia in order to collaborate with Dr. Bruce H. J. McKellar of Melbourne University. This visit is in exchange for the visit in early 1992 by Prof. McKellar to the University of Washington. Both investigators are acknowledged experts in weak interaction phenomenon, and this visit will extend the collaborative research on several topics in weak interactions. The investigators intend to collaborate on the theory of atomic electric dipole moments with the goal of defining the relationship between measurements and the parameters of the underlying CP (charge/parity) violating Lagrangian. They also intend to consider current treatments of the parity-nonconserving NN (neutron/neutron) interaction in view of recent chiral Lagrangian arguments that S-quark components in the nucleon lead to new interactions, including important three-body nuclear terms.
