Prospects for time reversal invariance studies with the use of five-fold correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advantages of investigation of time reversal invariance violation with the use of three-fold (P,T-odd) and five-fold (P-even,T-odd) correlations in the interaction of resonance neutrons with nuclei are briefly considered. Possible enhancements of T-odd effects in both cases are discussed. It is shown that the study of five-fold correlation is a perspective way to test time reversal invariance. Prospects to realize dynamical nuclear alignment method for measurements of five-fold correlation are described.

Extraction of bounds on time-reversal non-invariance from neutron reactions
Ratios involving on-resonance measurements of the three-fold correlation (TC) and five-fold correlation (FC) cross-sections for which the dependence on some of the unknown spectroscopic data is eliminated are considered. Closedform expressions are derived for the statistical distributions of these ratios. Implications for bounds on the variance of matrix elements of time-reversal (T) non-invari...
متن کاملOn Test of T Invariance in the Interaction of Slow Neutrons with Aligned Nuclei
Study of five-fold (P even, T odd) correlation in the interaction of slow polarized neutrons with aligned nuclei is a perspective way to test time reversal invariance due to expected enhancement of T violating effects in compound resonances. Possible nuclear targets are discussed which can be aligned both dynamically as well as by ”brute force” method at low temperature. Statistical estimation ...

متن کاملOptical-model description of time-reversal violation in neutron-nucleus scattering.
A time-reversal-violating spin-correlation coefficient in the total cross section for polarized neutrons incident on a tensor rank-2 polarized target is calculated by assuming a time-reversal-noninvariant, parity-conserving “five-fold” interaction in the neutron-nucleus optical potential. Results are presented for the system n + Ho for neutron incident energies covering the range 1–20 MeV. From...
متن کاملSpectral correlation functions for chaotic systems
The n-level spectral correlation functions for chaotic quantum systems are calculated by using a recently proposed scheme called the extended diagonal approximation (EDA). The EDA is a natural extension of the diagonal approximation, which was invented by Berry in order to semiclassically evaluate the 2-level correlation function. When the time reversal invariance of the chaotic systems is brok...
