Description/Abstract:
This memorandum represents a preliminary look at using a nuclear device as a source of polarized rays to perform a polarization experiment on the photoelectric effect. No intensities have been computed but just a look at the effect to be expected. It is anticipated that this would be a more difficult experiment to perform than the earlier proposed neutron polarization experiment. The theory of the experiment and the proposed experiment are described.
