Parity, asymmetry, weak interaction

  • In the "Parity (physics)" article at our often used but 'never-to-be-trusted for controversial topics' online encyclopedia I found this [emphasis mine]:


    "All fundamental interactions of elementary particles, with the exception of the weak interaction, are symmetric under parity.
    The weak interaction is chiral and thus provides a means for probing chirality in physics. In interactions that are symmetric under
    parity, such as electromagnetism in atomic andmolecular physics, parity serves as a powerful controlling principle underlying quantum transitions.
    [end quote]

    Would the comment above on parity, if true, go toward enabling some form of e- + p+ --> no + ve paradigm? Or is it irrelevant?


    And a further question: Since LENR are often thought to be Chemically Activated or Assisted (CANR), does it make any sense to project (by analogy or otherwise) any aspect of synthetic chemical chirality into a discussion of the chirality of beta decay or its inverse?


    Thanks
