Beta-gamma circular polarization correlation measurements

Abstract

Owing to nonconservation of parity in β decay,(1) γ rays following β transitions are circularly polarized. The angular distribution of circularly polarized γ rays emitted under an angle 0 with the preceding β particles is W(0,±) = 1±A(v/c) cos0 (+ for right hand, - for left-hand circular polarization).(2)
