Abstract

The angular distributions of 12C(α,γ)16O and its inverse 16O(γ,α)12C have been measured at an excitation of 13.1 MeV where there is a strong asymmetry favouring the forward direction due to E1/E2 interference. The asymmetries for (α,γ) and (γ,α) were the same within one standard deviation, and reveal no evidence of a failure of time reversal invariance.
