Description

We have measured the spins of p-wave resonances in the reaction of low energy neutrons with 238U nuclei and used them to reanalyze the parity violation experiment of the TRIPLE Collaboration carried out with this nucleus. The estimate of the root-mean-square matrix element of the parity violation interaction, M, including a bias correction, is found to be M=0.62-0.20+0.33(68% C.L.)+0.88-0.33(95% C.L.) meV. The spin assignments of the resonances improved the analysis. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
