Abstract

The conservation of parity is known to place restrictions on the polarization observables for nuclear reactions. For reactions which lead to a final state which contains two particles, the number of non-zero polarization observables is reduced by about a factor of two. The purpose of the present paper is to establish restrictions on the various polarization observables resulting from parity conservation for reactions in which the final state contains three particles. It is shown that for certain special cases the restrictions have a form similar to that for reactions in which the final state contains two particles.
