The parity-violating (PV) nucleon-nucleon (NN ) interaction in the three-nucleon system is investigated using pionless effective field theory (EFT(/ π)). This work shows that a next-to-leading order (NLO) PV three-body force is necessary in contradiction with a previous claim [1]. Including three-body P to D-wave transitions PV three-nucleon observables are calculated to higher energies than previously considered. Using the recent large-N C analysis of the PV NN interaction in EFT(/ π) the current understanding of low energy PV few-body measurements is reassessed. The recent measurement of the asymmetry A γ in np → dγ from the NPDGamma collaboration [2] gives the value g (N −1 C ) 4 * jvanasse@stetson.edu arXiv:1809.10740v2 [nucl-th] 12 May 2019 PV PV PV PV PV PC PC PC PC PV FIG. 2.
