Abstract
The nucleon-nucleon parity-nonconserving potentials given by Desplangues, Donoghue, and Holstein (DDH) are used to calculate matrix elements between states of opposite parity in , , , , , and . The sensitivity of the parity-nonconserving matrix elements to various approximations in the microscopic shell-model wave functions is investigated. The final results using the DDH estimates for the weak mesonnucleon coupling constants based on the Weinberg-Salam theory are several times larger than experiment.
