The asymmetry parameter for the ground state, mirror decay of polarized {sup 29}P has been measured. The {sup 29}P were produced with the {sup 28}Si({rvec d},{ital p}) reaction, and the sample polarization was determined from a simultaneous measurement of the asymmetry for the pure Gamow-Teller transition to the first excited state in {sup 29}Si at 1.27 MeV. The result, {ital A}{sub g.s.}=0.681{plus minus}0.086, is in good agreement with the {ital V}{minus}{ital A} theory of nuclear {beta} decay.
