We report a measurement of two energy-weightedcascade angular distributions from polarized slow neutron capture on thenucleus, one parity-odd correlation proportional toand one parity-even correlation proportional to. A parity-violating asymmetry can appear in this reaction due to the weak nucleon-nucleon interaction, which mixes opposite parity S- and P-wave levels in the excited compoundnucleus formed upon slow neutron capture. If parity-violating (PV) and parity-conserving (PC) terms both exist, the measured differential cross section can be related to them via. The PV and PC asymmetries for energy-weightedcascade angular distributions for polarized slow neutron capture onaveraged over the neutron energies from 2.27–9.53 meV were measured to beand. These results are consistent with previous experimental results. Systematic errors were quantified and shown to be small compared to the statistical error. These asymmetries in the angular distributions of therays emitted from the capture of polarized neutrons inwere used to verify the operation and data analysis procedures for the NPDGamma experiment, which measured the parity-odd asymmetry in the angular distribution ofs from polarized slow neutron capture on protons.
