Left--right asymmetry in integral spectra of [gamma]-quanta in the interaction of nuclei with polarized thermal neutrons

The paper presents results of preliminary measurements of the left--right asymmetry in integral spectra of [gamma]-quanta emitted in the interaction of polarized thermal neutrons with nuclei. These results indicate that for all cases of measured statistically significant P-odd asymmetry, the left--right asymmetry coefficient is much smaller than the P-odd asymmetry coefficient. This observation is not consistent with the predictions of theoretical calculations.
