Abstract: The NPDγ experiment at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) is dedicated to measure with high precision the parity violating asymmetry in the γ emission after capture of spin polarized cold neutrons in para-hydrogen. The measurement will determine unambiguously the weak pion-nucleon-nucleon (πNN) coupling constant fπ1. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
