Test of Time Reversal Symmetry in the Proton Deuteron System
نویسنده
چکیده
Internal target experiments with high quality proton beams allow for a new class of experiments providing null tests of time reversal symmetry in forward scattering. This could yield more stringent limits on T-odd P-even observables. A excellent candidate for such experiments is the proton deuteron system. This system is analyzed in terms of effective T-violating P-conserving nucleon-nucleon interactions and bounds on coupling strengths that might be expected are given.

متن کاملContribution to the Fifth International Wein Symposium: a Conference on Physics Be- Yond the Standard Model
A novel test of time-reversal invariance in proton-deuteron scattering is planned as an internal target transmission experiment at the cooler synchrotron COSY. The P-even, T-odd observable is the polarization correlation Ay,xz of the total cross section measured using a polarized internal proton beam (polarization py) and an internal polarized deuterium target (tensor polarization pxz). Measuri...
متن کاملCalculations of Dihedral Groups Using Circular Indexation
In this work, a regular polygon with $n$ sides is described by a periodic (circular) sequence with period $n$. Each element of the sequence represents a vertex of the polygon. Each symmetry of the polygon is the rotation of the polygon around the center-point and/or flipping around a symmetry axis. Here each symmetry is considered as a system that takes an input circular sequence and g...
متن کاملMuon capture on the proton and deuteron
By measuring the lifetime of the negative muon in pure protium (H), the MuCap experiment determines the rate of muon capture on the proton, from which the proton’s pseudoscalar coupling gp may be inferred. A precision of 15% for gp has been published; this is a step along the way to a goal of 7%. This coupling can be calculated precisely from heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory and therefor...
متن کاملHELICITY AND PLANAR AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING AT 6.0 GeV/c
In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...
