Abstract

The analysis of parity mixing experiments with unpolarized neutrons on polarized targets is described. Expressions for the neutron total cross section are presented for targets withI=1/2, 3/2, 5/2 and 7/2. These results are compared with the corresponding expressions for polarized neutron beams and unpolarized targets.
