Study of P-even and P-odd angular correlations in /sup 35/Cl(n,p)/sup 35/S and /sup 14/N(n,p)/sup 14/C reactions

P-odd and left-right asymmetries have been observed in the /sup 35/Cl(n,p)/sup 35/S reaction with capture of polarized thermal neutrons. The correlation coefficients are ..cap alpha../sub n//sub p/ = -(1.51 +- 0.34)x10/sup -4/ and ..cap alpha../sup l//sup r//sub n//sub p/ = -(2.40 +- 0.43)x10/sup -4/, respectively. For the /sup 14/N(n,p)/sup 14/C reaction, and upper bound of ..cap alpha../sub n//sub p/ = (0.07 +- 0.12)x10/sup -4/ is obtained for the P-odd asymmetry, and a left-right asymmetry is found, with correlation coefficient ..cap alpha../sup l//sup r//sub n//sub p/ = (0.66 +- 0.18)x10/sup -4/. The estimated value of the weak-interaction matrix element for the /sup 35/Cl(n,p)/sup 35/S reaction is W/sub S//sub P/ = 0.06 +- 0.02 eV.
