ON ANGULAR CORRELATION IN $pi$$sup +$$-$$mu$$sup +$-e$sup +$ DECAYS; Asupra Corelatiei Unghiulare in Desintegrarea $pi$$sup +$$-$$mu$$sup +$-e$sup +$

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4310346

Facts concerning a possible lack of isotropy in the angular distribution of muons from pi /sup +/-- mu /sup +/ decay and the question of scanning bias influence are discussed, which seem to suggest that the pion beam is polarized. These results were taken from a stack of nine electronsensitive emulsions and imply the existence of some spatial property of the pion such as non-vanishing Spin. It appears that the ( mu -e) angular distribution, though 1 + cos THETA under certain experimental conditions, might be of a much more complex form under other conditions. (M.H.R.)
