Description

Measurements of the proton polarization in the reactions 7Li(3He,p/sub pol/)9Be and 9Be(3He,p/sub pol/)11B and of the analyzing powers of the inverse reactions, initiated by polarized protons at the same c.m. energies, show significant differences which imply the failure of the polarization--analyzing-power theorem and, prima facie, of time-reversal invariance in these reactions
