Time reversal test in 57Fe
- 1. California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125
Description
The linear polarization of the E2-M1 122 keV γ ray of 57Fe following the electron capture decay of polarized 57Co was measured with a Compton polarimeter. An average time-reversal-noninvariant counting asymmetry of (-0.4 +- 0.8) x 10-5 was obtained. This corresponds to a phase angle between the E2 and M1 matrix elements of sineta= (-3.1 +- 6.5) x 10-4, consistent with time-reversal invariance
