Weak meson-nucleon coupling constants
The MNN coupling constants are calculated from the flower-conserving part of the weak interaction [V. M. Dubovik, et. al. PEPAN 18 (1987) 575; B. Desplanques. Phys.Rep.297 (1998) 1]
Due to uncertainties in the effects of strong QCD, the range of predictions is broad.
DDH – B. Desplanques, J. F. Donoughu, B. R. Holstein [B. Desplanques, J. Donoghue, B.

Theories of PV phenomena in nuclei starts with solution of the strong, PV conserving,nuclear Hamiltonian and the admix P-odd components treating the weak meson-exchange potential as a perturbation:
E
V PNC
The PV observable is given by a linear combination of weak MNN constants:
Problems: Theoretical – for more than a few bodies the nuclear wave functions can not be exactlycalculated;Experimental – the small size of weak amplitudes relative to strong amplitudes ~10-7.
Task: using this theory to calculate electroweak effects in the NN interaction and todetermine the weak couplings from experiment.

Summary
1. We have received nonzero result of the P-odd asymmetry of the triton emission fromthe 6Li(n,)3H reaction with cold polarized neutrons.
2. An accuracy of our measurements is 2.110-8. Such precision have not yet beenachieved in neutron experiments.
3. The f coupling constant extracted from the experimental data favors small value,close to that have been obtained in the 18F measurements.
4. Low f value means that still there is no detection of the neutral currents in nucleon-
nucleon interactions at low energy.
5. The measurements of the P-odd asymmetry of - quanta from the 10B(n,)7Li*7Li+will be continued. Next run will be September-November this year.
6. The joint analysis of the 6Li and 10B results allows one to extract the h0 coupling
constant and to obtain more strong restrictions on the f costant.
