Ternary Fission Induced by Polarized Neutrons

P‐odd and T‐odd asymmetries in the emission of fragments and light particles have been investigated in ternary fission induced by polarized neutrons. P‐odd asymmetries unambiguously point to a violation of parity in the fission process. By contrast, T‐odd asymmetries do not necessarily imply a violation of time reversal invariance. The asymmetries observed are rather due to a final state interaction between the light ternary particle and the nucleus from which they are ejected. New results with interesting information on the ternary fission process are presented.
