Parity Violation in Neutron Resonances in 107,109Ag

Parity nonconservation (PNC) was studied in p-wave resonances in Ag by measuring the helicity dependence of the neutron total cross section. Transmission measurements on natural Ag were performed in the energy range 32 to 422 eV with the time-of-flight method at the Manuel Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory. A total of 15 p-wave neutron resonances were studied in 107Ag and ninep-wave resonances in 109Ag. Statistically significant asymmetries were observed for eight resonances in 107Ag and for four resonances in109Ag. An analysis treating the PNC matrix elements as random variables yields a weak spreading width of Γw=(2.67-1.21+2.65)×10-7 eV for107Ag and Γw=(1.30-0.74+2.49)×10-7 eV for 109Ag

Parity Violation in Neutron Resonances in 115In

Parity nonconservation (PNC) was studied in p-wave resonances in indium by measuring the helicity dependence of the neutron total cross section in the neutron energy range 6.0–316 eV with the time-of-flight method at LANSCE. A total of 36 p-wave neutron resonances were studied in 115In, and statistically significant asymmetries were observed for nine cases. An analysis treating the PNC matrix elements as random variables yields a weak matrix element of M=(0.67-0.12+0.16) meV and a weak spreading width of Γw=(1.30-0.43+0.76)×10-7 eV

High Proton Polarization by Microwave-Induced Optical Nuclear Polarization at 77 K

Protons in naphthalene and p-terphenyl doped with pentacene have been polarized up to 32% and 18%, respectively, at liquid nitrogen temperature in a magnetic field of 0.3 T by means of microwave-induced optical nuclear polarization. The polarization was measured by nuclear magnetic resonance as well as by the neutron transmission method. The relaxation time of the proton polarization at 0.0007 T and 77 K was found to be almost 3 h and the polarization enhancement reached a record value of 8 × 104. The usefulness of the method in many areas of physics and chemistry is discussed
