We estimate the size of time-reversal violation in {beta} decay due to the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase {delta}, and the {theta} term L{sub {theta}}. We find that the contribution of {delta} to the D and R correlations is not likely to be larger than of the order of 10{sup {minus}12}{vert_bar}a{vert_bar}({vert_bar}s{sub 2}s{sub 3}s{sub {delta}}{vert_bar}/10{sup {minus}3}) and 10{sup {minus}14}{vert_bar}a{vert_bar}({vert_bar}s{sub 2}s{sub 3}s{sub {delta}}{vert_bar}/10{sup {minus}3}), respectively, where {vert_bar}a{vert_bar}{approx_equal}1 for neutron and {sup 19}Ne decay. For the contribution of L{sub {theta}} to D and R we conclude that it is not likely to be larger than of the order of 10{sup {minus}14}{vert_bar}a{vert_bar}({vert_bar}{theta}{vert_bar}/3{times}10{sup {minus}10})Q/(m{sub n}{minus}m{sub p}) and 10{sup {minus}12}{vert_bar}a{vert_bar}({vert_bar}{theta}{vert_bar}/3{times}10{sup {minus}10}), respectively (the present experimental limits on s{sub 2}s{sub 3}s{sub {delta}} and {theta} are {vert_bar}s{sub 2}s{sub 3}s{sub {delta}}{vert_bar}{approx_lt}10{sup {minus}3} and {vert_bar}{theta}{vert_bar}{approx_lt}3{times}10{sup {minus}10}), where Q is the energy release in the decay. For both {delta} and L{sub {theta}} the D and R coefficients are dominated by long-distance contributions. The small values of D and R in the standard model compared to the best experimental limit on T-odd correlations (10{sup {minus}3} for D in {sup 19}Ne decay) give potentially a wide window in which T-violating interactions beyond the standard model can be searched for. However, the range in this window thatmore » one will be able to exploit depends on the level at which the contributions of the final-state interactions can be kept under control. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}« less
