Fine structure discussion of parity-nonconserving neutron scattering at epithermal energies

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

The large magnitude and the sign correlation effect in the parity non-conserving resonant scattering of epithermal neutrons from232Th is discussed in terms of a non-collective 2p 1h local doorway model. General conclusions are drawn as to the probability of finding large parity violation effects in other regions of the periodic table.
