Effective Lagrangians and Parity-Conserving Time-Reversal Violation at Low Energies

Abstract

Using effective Lagrangians, we argue that any time-reversal-violating but parity-conserving effects are too small to be observed in flavor-conserving nuclear processes without dramatic improvement in experimental accuracy. In the process we discuss other arguments that have appeared in the literature.
