Abstract

Symmetries, important in many fields of nuclear and particle physics, play a particularly important role in polarization experiments where some of them find their most important, if not their only, experimental manifestation. In this brief review we shall discuss in particular those symmetries which are relevant in nuclear reactions and their analysis: parity, time reversal, and isospin or charge symmetry. All of them are known to be broken in nature. However, in spite of that, for practical purpose in the analysis of nuclear scattering data, parity and time reversal are excellent symmetries. Only isospin and charge symmetry is appreciably broken also at this level.
