Abstract

This paper studies the effects in low energy nuclear physics of a possible time reversal invariance (TRI) violation in the electromagnetic interaction. It is shown that this effect appears as a two body short range TRI violating transition operator or as a two and three body TRI violating potential. Two cases are studied. Firstly a TRI violating NNγ vertex is considered and found to have very little effect. Secondly the TRI violation is assumed to occur in the NN ∗γ vertex and it is shown that if the violation is “maximal” the contribution to the imaginary part of the “mixing ratio” δ is Im δ ≈ ¦δ¦ × 10 −3 . This should be measurable.
