FINE STRUCTURE DISCUSSION OF PARITY-NONCONSERVING NEUTRON SCATTERING AT EPITHERMAL ENERGIES * M. S. Hussein † , A. K.

General conclusions are drawn as to the probability of finding large u n parity violation effects in other regions of the periodic table. : v i X r a PACS numbers: 25.40.Ny, 11.30.Er, 24.10.Ht, 24.80.Dc CTP# 2296 September 08, 1994 * This work is supported in part by funds provided by the U.
