Abstract

Test experiments to study of T-and PT-reversal symmetry in nuclear γ-decay, using linear polarization of γ-rays from nuclei oriented by hyperfine interaction at low temperatures are discussed. The necessary formalism is reviewed and details of new proposals for future experiments are given.
