Abstract
Neutron transmission experiments can offer a new type of highly sensitive search for time-reversal invariance violating (TRIV) effects in nucleon-nucleon interactions via the same enhancement mechanism observed for large parity violating (PV) effects in neutron-induced compound nuclear processes. In these compound processes, the TRIV cross section is given as the product of the PV cross section, a spin factor , and a ratio of TRIV and PV matrix elements. We determined to be for using both spectroscopy and () transmission. This result quantifies for the first time the high sensitivity of the 0.75-eV -wave resonance in a future search for effects of -odd/-odd interactions in () forward transmission.
