Abstract
Enhancement of the parity-violating isospin-changing one-pion-exchange potential for three-triplet gauge models has been found with respect to the standard weak-Hamiltonian model. In the case of the Bég-Zee model, which allows for the neutral hadron-current coupling to neutrinos, there is an enhancement by at least a factor of 10. The Lee-Prentki-Zumino and the Georgi-Glashow models are also discussed. The role of Fierz transformations has been investigated in detail. It has been suggested that the detection of an angular asymmetry comparable with circular polarization in thermal-neutron capture, as well as larger resonance than expected in the decay process of lithium, can be meaningful substantiation of unified theories of weak and electromagnetic interactions.
