Abstract

The NPDGamma experiment measures the parity-violating (PV) gamma asymmetry from polarized cold neutrons captured on protons at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The (PV) neutron spin asymmetry A_γ of photons from polarized cold neutron capture on protons is proportional to the ΔI=1 long range weak meson coupling hπ1 between nucleons in the hadronic weak interaction (HWI). Liquid para-hydrogen production data taking concluded in April 2014 and once the background aluminum asymmetry measurements are complete, the PV asymmetry A_γ can be extracted. Preliminary results of the analysis of A_γ are presented.
