Electroweak processes in few-body nuclei

There has been dramatic progress recently in the study of electroweak processes in few-body nuclei. This progress has been driven by an improved understanding of the two-nucleon currents as well as a rapidly-developing ability to solve for the strongly-correlated few-nucleon states. Here we briefly summarize the state of the art in many experiments, including electroweak capture reactions at low energy, electron and neutrino scattering from nuclei, and hadronic parity violation. In this contribution, recent important developments in the nucleon-nucleon system are outlined, and prospects for similar advancements in few-nucleon systems more generally are described. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
