On the left-right asymmetry of the angular distribution of α particles from ternary nuclear fission by polarized neutrons

Abstract

Some experimental possibilities of establishing the nature of the recently observed T-odd angular correlation in ternary fission of 233U by polarized neutrons are discussed. Specifically, investigation of the neutron energy dependence of the correlation coefficient in the ternary fission of 239Pu and 235U could shed light on the problem under discussion.
