摘要
Parity (P) and time-reversal (T) violating effects are enhanced a million times in neutron reactions near p-wave nuclear compound resonances. Planning and interpretation of corresponding experiments require values of the matrix elements of the T,P-violating nuclear forces between nuclear compound states. We calculate the root-mean-square values and the ratio of the matrix elements of the T,P-violating and P-violating interactions using statistical theory based on the properties of chaotic compound states. We present the results in terms of the fundamental parameters in five different forms: in terms of the constants of the contact nuclear interaction, meson exchange constants, QCD theta-term, quark chromo-electric dipole moments (d) over tilde (u) and (d) over tilde (d), and axion interaction constants. Using current limits on these parameters, we obtain upper bounds on the ratio of the matrix elements and on the ratio of T,P-violating and P-violating parts of the neutron reaction cross sections. Our results confirm that the expected sensitivity in neutron-reactions experiments may be sufficient to improve the limits on the T,P-violating interactions.
