A Ramsey’s Method With Pulsed Neutrons for a T-Violation Experiment

摘要

A Ramsey’s method with pulsed neutrons is discussed for neutron spin manipulation in a time reversal (T) symmetry violation experiment. The neutron spin (sn) is aligned to the direction of a vector product of the nuclear spin (>I) and the neutron momentum (>kn) for the measurement of a T-odd correlation term, which is represented as sn · (>kn × >I), during propagation through a polarized nuclear target. The phase control and amplitude modulation of separated oscillatory fields are discussed for the measurement of the T-odd correlation term.
