description

Parity-violating asymmetries are calculated for elastic scattering of electrons on nuclei of arbitrary spin and isospin. Possible dependences on nuclear-model input are shown to be weak. Elastic electron scattering at intermediate energies may become an important tool in studying the structure of hadronic weak neutral currents.
