Description

Ternary fission of 233U and 235U induced by cold polarized neutrons has been investigated. Several correlations between neutron spin and the momenta of fission fragments and ternary particles were analyzed. These correlations are probing time reversal invariance, parity non-conservation and left-right asymmetries. Results for all three correlations from the reaction 233U(n,f) are presented. Especially the outcome in the searches for time reversal correlations and left-right asymmetries is unexpected. A huge effect observed formally as a violation of time reversal is most probably simulated by specific properties of the emission mechanism for ternary particles
