Abstract:The fi decay Agll~Cd n~ has been investigated with a double lens spectrometer and a ~-y circular-polarization correlation setup. The shape of the 6 + -+ 6 +/~ spectrum with E 0 = 529 keV was found to be allowed, in disagreement with earlier work. The constant A of the fl-y circular-polarization correlation was measured to be A ~ 0'07 • 0.02. This implies a ratio X of Fermi to Gamow-Teller contribution +2.3 to the decay of X 1 = --0.02 ~ 0'03 or X 2 = --10.34.1. Qualitative shell model considerations favor the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
