Parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interaction from different approaches

Two-pion exchange parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interactions from recent effective field theories and earlier fully covariant approaches are investigated. The potentials are compared with the goal of obtaining better insight into the role of low-energy constants appearing in the effective field theory approach and its convergence in terms of a perturbative series. The results are illustrated by considering the longitudinal asymmetry of polarized protons scattering off protons, p-vector+p{yields}p+p, and the asymmetry of the photon emission in radiative capture of polarized neutrons by protons, n-vector+p{yields}d+{gamma}.
