0 Parity and time reversal violating nuclear polarizability

چکیده
We propose a nuclear mechanism which can induce an atomic electric dipole moment (EDM). Parity and time reversal violating (P, T-odd) nuclear forces generate a mixed P, T-odd nuclear polarizability β ik (defined by an energy shift U = −β ik E i H k , E is electric field and H magnetic field). The interaction of atomic electrons with β ik produces an atomic EDM. We performed an analytical calculation of the P, T-odd nuclear polarizability and estimated the value for the induced atomic EDM. The measurements of atomic EDMs can provide information about P, T-odd nuclear forces and test models of CP-violation.

It is shown, that the new phenomena of the T-violating photon polarization plane and neutron spin rotation appear under diffraction in a noncentrosymmetrical diffraction grating. The equations describing the T-violating photon scattering by a diffraction grating and neutron interaction with noncentrosymmetrical crystal have been obtained. These phenomena may be used for time-violating interacti...

Tensor representation (TR) for wave function (WF) of three–nucleon bound state with the total angular momentum I = 1/2 is discussed. The WF in TR has 16 complex components depending on vectors of relative momenta. Constraints on the WF imposed by requirements of invariance with respect to space inversion and time reversal are studied. Both parity– even and parity–odd components of the 3N bound ...

1. Violation of time reversal symmetry has been observed only in K0-decay many years ago [1], and remains one of the great unsolved problems in elementary particle physics. Since the discovery of the CP-violation in decay of K0-mesons, a few attempts have been undertaken to observe this phenomenon experimentally in different processes. However, that experiments have not been successful. At the ...
متن کاملSearch for Time-Reversal Invariance Violation with High Intensity Neutron Beam
The important advantage to the search for Time-Reversal invariance violation (TRIV) in neutron nuclei interactions is the possibility of an enhancement of T-violating observables by many orders of magnitude due to the complex nuclear structure (see, i.e. paper [1] and references therein). Moreover, the variety of nuclear systems to measure T-violating parameters provides assurance that a possib...
متن کاملCP-violating magnetic moments of atoms and molecules
We develop a theory of electric-field-induced magnetization of a medium. The relevant polarizability, βCP , simultaneously violates the inversion symmetry (parity), the time-reversal symmetry, and the combined CP symmetry. We focus on two fundamental mechanisms mediating the appearance of βCP — the electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) and the electron-nucleus pseudo-scalar weak neutral...
