Abstract

We derive a T-violating P-conserving optical potential for neutron-nucleus scattering, starting from a uniquely determined two-body ρ-exchange interaction with the same symmetry. We then obtain limits on the T-violating ρ-nucleon coupling gρ from neutron-transmission experiments in 165Ho. The limits may soon compete with those from measurements of atomic electric-dipole moments.
