Abstract

We report a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in the radiative capture of polarized cold neutrons in the reaction 35Cl(n, γ)36Cl where 36Cl is in the ground state. The measured value of the asymmetry is a = (1.57 ± 0.531) × 10−4. We deduce the mixing between the 2+ capture level and the neighboring 2 levelto be 〈2¦Hp.v.¦2+〉 = −0.25 ± 0.08 eV before corrections. A measurement of the integral asymmetry of all γ-rays in the neutron capture by 35Cl leads to agreement with measurements at Leningrad.
