emiT: An apparatus to test time reversal invariance in polarized neutron decay

We describe an apparatus used to measure the triple-correlation term (DĻƒĢ‚nā‹…peƗpĪ½) in the beta decay of polarized neutrons. The D coefficient is sensitive to possible violations of time reversal invariance. The detector has an octagonal symmetry that optimizes electronā€“proton coincidence rates and reduces systematic effects. A beam of longitudinally polarized ā€¦
