Time violating amplitudes in the (3He, p) reactions

Abstract

The difference between the polarization (P) of protons in the reaction (3He, [Formula: see text]) and the analyzing power (A) in the inverse reaction ([Formula: see text], 3He) has been calculated using a spin-independent isospin-independent, time reversal violating interaction in the form [α(r)[Formula: see text] + Hermitian conjugate]. The interaction strength is adjusted to be 1% of the time conserving optical potentials. A distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculation assuming a direct reaction mechanism has been performed. The relative values of the time violating amplitudes have no signatures for any measurable time violating effects.
