Title: Rise and fall of the spin alignment in deep-inelastic reactions

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

Both the magnitude and alignment of the transferred angular momentum in /sup 165/Ho+/sup 165/Ho have been measured as a function of Q value via continuum ..gamma..-ray multiplicity and anisotropy techniques. Two regimes are observed: A low-Q-value regime where the aligned angular momentum component dominates over the random components, and a large-Q-value regime where the random components dominate and decrease the spin alignment.
