THE DECAY $Sigma$$sup 0$ $Yields$ $lambda$$sup 0$ + e$sup +$ + e$sup -$ AND THE $Sigma$$sup 0$ - $lambda$$sup 0$ RELATIVE PARITY. Technical Note No. 22

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4137347

The analysis of Kroll and Wada is applied to the process /sup +/ + e/sup -/, and it is found that the photons which undergo internal conversion tend to be transverse with electric vector normal to the plane of the electron-positron pair. From this it follows that if the SIGMA /sup 0/ and LAMBDA /sup 0/ have equal spin, the internal conversion of the photons in decays of polarized SIGMA /sup 0,/s offers a means of measuring the SIGMA /sup 0/ - LAMBDA /sup 0/ relative parity. Measurement of the SIGMA /sup 0/ spin and SIGMA /sup 0/ - LAMBDA /sup 0/ relative parity is discussed. (W.D.M
