The Fermi Term in Beta-Neutrino Correlation
A survey is made to find the β transitions most suitable for a β-ν (recoil) correlation experiment to determine the Fermi part of interaction. The most favorable parent isotope appears to be A35.
The linear combination in p-decay appears to be half Fermi (F) and half Gamow-Teller (G). Absence of 1/W terms in allowed spectra shows that F must be pure S or pure V, and G must be pure T or pure A. Measurements of beta-neutrino correlation on He6 show that G=T. One now seeks a suitable use for determining the F component by beta-neutrino correlation.
