Introduction • Classification of N-N Forces • Evidence for Class III Interactions • Evidence for Class IV Interactions • Time Reversal Invariance • Charge Symmetry Breaking and Hypernuclei
System Isospin: According to their charge Charge Independence: or Charge Symmetry: system, isospin conserved, no mixing of I=0,1 states System Charge Symmetry

Note Coulomb effects have the opposite sign; for the np system • One concludes therefore • But then at the quark level in the scheme at the scale of 2 GeV CSB ! • However which is the scale of CSB in hadrons and nuclei • The electromagnetic interaction among the quarks also plays a role No contribution from Coulomb repulsion Coulomb attraction !
The electromagnetic interaction among the quarks is of importance also for the mass splittings of and and

CLASSIFICATION OF N-N FORCES: CLASS I: CHARGE INDEPENDENT FORCES CLASS II: CHARGE SYMMETRIC BUT CHARGE DEPENDENT FORCES CLASS III: ISOSPIN CONSERVING BUT CHARGE ASYMMETRIC AND CHARGE DEPENDENT FORCES -NO ISOSPIN MIXING CLASS IV: ISOSPIN NON-CONSERVING, CHARGE ASYMMETRIC AND CHARGE-DEPENDENT FORCES FOR IDENTICAL PARTICLES(nn&pp) -AFFECTS NP SYSTEM ONLY

Evidence for Class III Interactions 1) Low energy nucleon-nucleon scattering observables 2) Okamoto-Nolen-Schiffer effect: Binding energy differences of mirror nuclei

Mechanisms of charge symmetry breaking in n-p elastic scattering Charge asymmetric, charge dependent interaction, antisymmetric under the exchange of nucleons i and j in isospin space, class IV interaction of Henley and Miller
Neutron-proton magnetic interaction mixing Angular distribution similar to • Neutron-proton mass difference a affecting and exchange State dependent phase so s have different signs according J values
by comparing the experimental results for With theoretical predictions ,one can establish an upper limit on a P-even/T-odd interaction [M.Simonius,Phys.Rev.Lett.78,4161(1997)] this translates into a P-even/T-odd coupling constant in terms of the strong coupling constant [95% C.L.] Note that the upper limit on the neutron edm gives but So comparable results! 2 new possibilities 1 measure in at 320 MeV with improved precision. 2 measure the attenuation of polarized proton through an aligned deuterium target
183 MeV 347 MeV (TRI violation) 477 MeV Take c from SAID FA95 solution: 183 MeV 347 MeV 477 MeV or (95% C.L.) neutron electric dipole moment gives an indirect limit of Considerably lower than the limits inferred from direct tests of TRI (dependent on !)
Binding Energies(MeV), Mirror Hypernuclei • If isospin is an exact symmetry and therefore also no CSB, then the of mirror hypernuclei should be identical. • Differences could be due to: - Coulomb effects + other electromagnetic effects - nuclear CSB - CSB
