Title: Correlations for reduced-width amplitudes in /sup 49/V

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Measurement of the relative sign of inelastic proton-channel amplitudes permits the determination of amplitude correlations. Data were obtained for 45 5/2/sup +/ resonances in /sup 49/V. Although the reduced widths in each channel followed a Porter-Thomas distribution, large amplitude correlations were observed. The results are compared with the reduced-width--amplitude distribution of Krieger and Porter. This is the first direct test of the Krieger-Porter distribution.
