Prospects for time reversal invariance studies with the use of five-fold correlation

Abstract

Advantages of investigation of time reversal invariance violation with the use of three-fold (P,T-odd) and five-fold (P-even,T-odd) correlations in the interaction of resonance neutrons with nuclei are briefly considered. Possible enhancements of T-odd effects in both cases are discussed. It is shown that the study of five-fold correlation is a perspective way to test time reversal invariance. Prospects to realize dynamical nuclear alignment method for measurements of five-fold correlation are described.
