On the left-right asymmetry of the angular distribution of alpha particlesfrom ternary nuclear fission by polarized neutrons

Some experimental possibilities of establishing the nature of the recently observed T-odd angular correlation in ternary fission of U-233 by polarized neutrons are discussed. Specifically, investigation of the neutron energy dependence of the correlation coefficient in the ternary fission of Pu-239 and U-235 could shed light on the problem under discussion.
