Experimental test of time reversal invariance using beta-polarization-gamma angular correlations in beta decay

A measurement of the transverse beta spin polarization in a ..beta..-..gamma.. nuclear cascade gives information on time reversal invariance. Results from a preliminary experiment, using /sup 203/Hg decay, are presented. The one previous experimental investigation, which used /sup 198/Au decay, is a...

Zusammenfassung:	A measurement of the transverse beta spin polarization in a ..beta..-..gamma.. nuclear cascade gives information on time reversal invariance. Results from a preliminary experiment, using /sup 203/Hg decay, are presented. The one previous experimental investigation, which used /sup 198/Au decay, is also reanalyzed in light of more recent information on Mott scattering polarization analysis. No time reversal violations are indicated in either experiment.
