Parity-violating nuclear force, as may be accessed from parity-violation studies in nuclear systems, represents an area of nonleptonic weak interactions that has been the subject of experimental investigations for several decades. In the simple meson-exchange picture, a parity-violating nuclear force may be parametrized as arising from the exchange of pi, rho, omega, or other mesons with strong meson-nucleon coupling at one vertex and weak parity-violating meson-nucleon coupling at the other vertex. The QCD sum-rule method allows for a fairly complicated, but nevertheless straightforward, leading-order loop-contribution determination of the various parity-violating MNN couplings starting from QCD (with the nontrivial vacuum) and Glashow-Salam-Weinberg electroweak theory. We continue our earlier investigation of the parity-violating pi NN coupling (by Henley, Hwang, and Kisslinger) to other parity-violating couplings. Our predictions are in reasonable overall agreement with the results estimated on phenomenological grounds, such as in the now classic paper of Desplanques, Donoghue, and Holstein, in the global experimental fit of Adelberger and Haxton, or the effective field theory thinking of Ramsey-Musolf and Page.
