DEPENDENCE OF $mu$-MESON AND ELECTRON POLARIZATION OF CORRELATION PARAMETERS IN Kmu$sub 3$ AND Ke$sub 3$ DECAYS

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.
The polarization of the mu mesons and electrons emitted in K/sub mu 3/ and K/sub e3/ decays is investigated on the basis of the two-component theory of the neutrino field. A quite general form of the transition matrix is used under the only assumption that the corresponding K mesons have no spin. It is shown that for pure couplings the form of the functional dependence of the polarization vector on the correlation parameters E and theta is uniquely determined by the type of coupling and does not involve the unknown coupling factors C/sub i/(E, theta ). A combined correlation and polarization experiment can, therefore, provide the best tool for the investigation of the actual form of the coupling responsible for the K/sub mu 3/ and K/sub e3/ decays.
