Abstract
The conserved-vector-current (CVC) theory predicts a deviation from the allowed shape of the B12 and N12 beta spectra. The ratio of the shape factors of the two spectra is expected to have an energy dependence of (1.10±0.17)% per MeV. If the CVC hypothesis is not invoked, this ratio is estimated to be an order of magnitude smaller. The two spectra have been measured with a magnetic spectrometer and found to give for this ratio the value (1.30±0.31)% per MeV. The branching fraction of the N12 decay to the 7.6-MeV state of C12 has been determined to be (3.0±0.5)%.

Fowler, Professor H.A. Weidenmuller, Professor U. Hauser, and Professor F. Boehm for valuable discussions. Two earlier experiments in this laboratory(33) by H. Hilton and V. Soergel, and H. Hilton and C. Van der Leun provided much the groundwork which made the present experiment possible. One of us (Mayer-Kuckuk) would like to thank the Deutsches Bundesministerium fur Atolnkernencrgie for financial support and the Kellogg Laboratory for its hospitality.
