Parity mixing and time reversal violation in nuclei with octupole deformations

Parity nonconserving and time reversal violating matrix elements between parity doublets occurring in nuclei that possess intrinsic octupole deformations are studied. In some cases the mixing coefficients turn out to be large due to the near degeneracy of the doublets and in the case of time reversal violation also due to the enhancement in the symmetry violating matrix elements.
