Observation of a Time-Reversal-Like Phase Shift between Competing Multipoles in a Nuclear Gamma Transition

RADIOACTIVITY ^191mIr [from β- decay of ¹⁹¹Os, polarized in Fe host]; measured linear polarization of γ for 5/2+→3/2+ transition; deduced imaginary phase in E2-M1 δ. Comparion of time-reversal-like phase with calculated atomic final-state phase.
