Abstract

The treatment of parity violations in the weak nuclear interactions is discussed within the frameworks of both the Standard Model (SM) and the Generation Model (GM) of particle physics. It will be demonstrated that several important differences between these two models leads to the SM merely describing the parity violations, while the GM provides an understanding of the cause of the parity violations in weak nuclear interactions. The significant differences arising from several dubious assumptions made during the development of the SM, lead to very different conclusions concerning the nature of the parity violations in the two models. While the SM is able to describe the observed parity violations in terms of a “V-A" theory of the weak nuclear interactions, the GM is also able to demonstrate the cause of the observed parity violations: in the GM, the observed parity violations arise as a consequence of the negative intrinsic parity of both the \(\mathit{W}\) massive bosons, which mediate these so-called charge-changing (CC) weak nuclear interactions. In the SM, the parity of charged pions is assumed to be \(\mathit{P}\pi = -1\). This led not only to the overthrow of parity conservation in 1957 but also to the combined chargeconjugation parity \((\mathit{CP})\) violation in 1964. It will be shown that the GM explains quantatatively that \(\mathit{CP}\) is conserved in CC weak nuclear interactions.
