Nuclear spectroscopy of parity-nonconserving neutron resonance experiments

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atomic Nuclei

Abstract

The analysis of experiments on parity mixing in compound nuclear resonances is described, with the nuclear spectroscopic aspects of the parity violation experiments emphasized. Expressions are derived for polarized neutron scattering and polarized neutron capture on unpolarized targets, and the resonance interference is treated explicitly. Examples are presented to illustrate the effects of entrance channel mixing for the case of target spin 1/2 and resonance spin 1. Results are also presented for targets with spins 0 and 3/2.
