Zusammenfassung: | 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 \(\kappa\), and a ratio of TRIV and PV matrix elements. We determined \(\kappa\) to be \(0.59\pm0.05\) for \(^{139}\)La+\(n\) using both \((n, \gamma)\) spectroscopy and (\(\vec{n}+^{139}\vec{\rm La}\)) transmission. This result quantifies for the first time the high sensitivity of the \(^{139}\)La 0.75~eV \(p\)-wave resonance in a future search for P-odd/T-odd interactions in (\(\vec{n}+^{139}\vec{\rm La}\)) forward transmission. |
