offline data analysis, about 1-Mega V-track events were successfully reconstructed.<br />

The Mott scattering angular distribution is shown in Fig. 3-20, for both spin-up and<br />

-down settings of the tilted-foil system for polarized 8 Li beam. If shapes of the<br />

distributions are different from each other, it means that the time reversal symmetry is<br />

violated. The value obtained from the preliminary analysis is concluded to be zero<br />

within the present statistics.<br />

The R&D for the test of the time reversal symmetry using polarized 8 Li nuclei at<br />

<strong>TRIAC</strong> [3-25] is successfully performed, as the first measurement using event-by-event<br />

V-track reconstruction without suffering from dominant backgrounds. The present<br />

system developed for the experiments at the <strong>TRIAC</strong>, shows a good performance as an<br />

electron transverse polarimeter which is going to be used at the TRIUMF. By utilizing<br />

the 8 Li beam with higher intensity and better polarization (10 7 pps with 80 %<br />

polarization) at the TRIUMF, the R-parameter will be determined with a precision of<br />

0.01%. The project has been already started at the TRIUMF as S1183 MTV experiment<br />

from 2009. First physics run is successfully performed in 2010 with highest statistical<br />

precision, utilizing the experimental technique developed at the <strong>TRIAC</strong>.<br />

3-2-3. Search for the highly excited state in 11 Be via 9 Li + d reaction (K08)<br />

An excited level at 18.2 MeV in 11 Be has been suggested from observations of<br />

beta-delayed deuteron, triton, and α emissions in 11 Li beta decay experiments [3-26].<br />

This level is above and close to the 9 Li+d threshold at 17.9 MeV and possibly enhances<br />
