The correlation between thc BETA rays and those gamma rays Doppler- shifted by nuclear recoil to the energy needed for resonance scattering was measured fur Ne/sup 23/. This correlation is directly related to the BETA - n correlation for Gamow-Teller negaton emission. The correlation expected depends on the Ml, E2 mixing in the gamma transition. With the best estimate of this, the ratio coincidences at 90 deg to those at 180 deg should be 0.87 for axial vector and l.17 for tensor interaction. The experimental result, obtained in about 100 hours of running time, 0.56 plus or minus 0.24, supports axial vector interaction. The results also give a value for thc lifetime of the 436 kev level in Na/sup 23/ of (1.5 plus or minus 0.3) X 10/sup -10/ sec. (auth)
