Previous theoretical work has shown that parity and time-reversal symmetry can be tested with particularly high sensitivity in the domain of isolated compound-nucleus resonances. In this domain, experiments will naturally focus on individual resonances rather than on the background cross section. The theoretical analysis of this situation leads to the concept of an ensemble of "onresonance" measurements. This concept naturally emerges by combining two previous theoretical approaches to tests of fundamental symmetries. %'e investigate the properties of this new ensemble and show how to convert "on-resonance" data into statistically significant information on symmetry violation.

The theoretical estimates of the P-conserving 7Mnvariance violation in neutron transmission are reexamined. It is shown that the previously omitted factors of dynamical enhancement caused by the Tnonconserving interaction of the two closely lying resonances might sum up to an overall amplification of the effect by 3-5 orders of magnitude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
