The case of K- or L-capture of any degree of forbiddenness with account of nonconservation of parity is discussed. It is shown that observation of the correlation between the polarizations of x-ray quanta emitted by the atom after K- or L-capture and the direction of the nuclear spins or the polarization of the subsequent nuclear radiation yields important data on BETA interaction. The angular distribution of the x-ray quanta is anisotropic if capture occurs in the L/sub III/ shell. Some formulas are presented which permit the determination of spins and parities of nuclear levels by observing the polarization of x-ray quanta after conversion transitions. (tr-auth)
