The Measurement of Electron-Neutrino Angular Correlations [and Discussion]
Previous speakers have already emphasized the importance of electron-neutrino angular correlations in identifying the basic interactions in β-decay. We have also seen that htere are some serious inconsistencies in the experimental situation. At the same time I should like to say that I can see no strong reason to reject any of these results. In this talk I propose to describe some of the difficulties one encounters in this kind of work and to illustrate these with a dscription of the experiment on Ne23.
A. Salam: So you would be inclined to discount the He6 experiments if you had to choose?
B. W. Ridley: This is rather difficult, because there are always some questions which are left unanswered in any experimental paper, and one can sometimes pick holes in the experiment, but I would not like to do so without the people concerned being here to reply,
