Description
The NOPTREX collaboration is engaged in three distinct but related scientific activities as follows:(1) a P-odd/T-odd test in polarized neutron forward transmission in polarized 139La, (2) a P-even/T-odd test in polarized neutron transmission through tensor aligned 127I, and (3) improved (n, \gamma) spectroscopy for better determination of mean square matrix element <M^{2}> in heavy nuclei. All of these efforts exploit the large amplification of discrete symmetry violation in NN amplitudes (up to a factor of 10^{6}) which can occur in p-wave neutron-nucleus resonance reactions. In this talk we will summarize the intellectual motivations and status of each of these efforts.
