چکیده
FIG. 4. Dependence of the lifetime on the ratio, R, of yields in the two exposures. Curve a is computed with the use of a spectrum of E 's derived from an energy-dependent matrix element of the form y2 —1, Gaussian momentum distribution in the target nucleus, and isotropic angular distribution in the center-of-mass system. Curve b has isotropic and energy-independent matrix element, and Fermi momentum distribution. Curve c has energyindependent matrix element, Gaussian distribution, and cose angular dependence in the center-of-mass system.

Time Reversal Invariance and the Decay
A model of radiative pion decay which incorporates a violation of time reversal invariance is studied. An asymmetry of up to 12% in the angular distribution of particles in the final state is predicted. (To be submitted to Physical Review) * Work supported by U. S.

متن کاملTesting Supersymmetry in Weak Decays by Means of Time Reversal Invariance
The minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model allows for some of the coupling strengths to be complex parameters. The presence of such imaginary phases can lead to violations of time reversal invariance, which can be tested if correlations in products of an odd number of polarizations and momenta are measured and found to be different from zero. As an example, we consider the tripl...

We examine time reversal invariance in the β–decays of 8 B(2 +) and 8 Li(2 +) to 8 Be (2 +) in detail, with particular attention to final state interactions of the two α particles from the decay of 8 Be, and of the electron (positron) with the daughter nucleus. An R–matrix formulation is used, with the initial state described by a shell model. The R–matrix parameters are obtained by fitting the...
متن کاملCan We Investigate Direct Time Reversal Violation?
We illustrate a theoretical condition under which a two-body decay of a resonance violates time reversal invariance. Moreover, we examine some cases for which this condition looks particularly simple. As a consequence, we deduce tests of time reversal violation for weak decays involving spinning particles.

متن کاملHunting for Direct Cp Violation in Strange - Baryon Decays
Although CP-symmetry breaking has only been seen in neutral kaon decays, this mysterious phenomenon is expected to occur elsewhere. In this talk, how CP violation can arise in strange-baryon decays is briefly reviewed. The current status and prospects for searching for such an effect will be presented. Strange baryons were first discovered in cosmic-ray experiments in the late 1940s as particle...
