Parity violating pion electroproduction off the nucleon

Parity violating (PV) contributions due to interference between $γ$ and $Z^0$ exchange are calculated for pion electroproduction off the nucleon. A phenomenological model with effective Lagrangians is used to determine the resulting asymmetry for the energy region between threshold and $Δ(1232)$ resonance. The $Δ$ resonance is treated as a Rarita-Schwinger field with phenomenological $N Δ$ transition currents. The background contributions are given by the usual Born terms using the pseudovector $πN$ Lagrangian. Numerical results for the asymmetry are presented.
