Tests of Time-Reversal Invariance of Strong Interactions Utilizing the Mössbauer Effect

Abstract

The currents induced in the inner electronic shells by a nuclear Mössbauer $\gamma$ transition gives an $E(L+1\mathrm{})\mathrm{}-M\left(L\right)\mathrm{}$ phase difference on the order of ${10}^{-2\mathrm{}}$-${10}^{-3\mathrm{}}$ rad which must be taken into account in the interpretation of experiments designed to detect such phase differences arising from possible failure of $T$ invariance in nuclear interactions.
