Description

The rotation, phi/sub pnc/, of a neutron beam polarization vector due to parity nonconserving forces is measured in a lanthanum target. It is found that phi/sub pnc//l = -(21.9 +- 2.9) x 10- 5 rad/cm, where the negative sign corresponds to a left-handed rotation of the neutron spin about its momentum
