Abstract: (Elsevier)
Enhancement of parity violation effects are calculated in an extended shell model space. Strong enhancements in the longitudinal asymmetry are found when the nucleus is in a regime of large density of states and when nuclear states are very complicated exhibiting features of complete mixing characteristic of the chaotic stage. The nature and mechanism of the enhancement are discussed and compared with parity violation effects found at the single-particle stage. The universality of this effect for a wider class of symmetries and symmetry breakings as well as for a large class of complex systems is mentioned.
