Abstract

The spectral shapes of the {sup 12}B and {sup 12}N beta decays have been measured with a beta spectrograph specifically designed to examine the spectral effect of weak magnetism. Writing the weak magnetism correction to the beta spectra as (1+{alpha}{sub {plus minus}}{ital E}) we find the difference {alpha}{sub {minus}}{minus}{alpha}{sub +}=(1.24{plus minus}0.42)%/MeV, in agreement with the conserved vector current prediction.

The coefficients ..cap alpha../sub minus-or-plus/ in the alignment-correlation terms A..cap alpha../sub minus-or-plus/EP/sub 2/(costheta), in /sup 12/B and /sup 12/N decays have been determined; ..cap alpha../sub -/(/sup 12/B) =+(0.006 +- 0.018) %/MeV, and ..cap alpha../sub +/(/sup 12/N) =-(0.273 +- 0.041) %/MeV. The sign of ..cap alpha../sub +/(/sup 12/N) was determined for the first time, by use of an NMR method and measurements on ..beta..-..gamma.. correlation in aligned /sup 12/N. The (..cap alpha../sub -/-..cap alpha../sub +/) result is consistent with strong conservation of vector currents without second-class currents and the (..cap alpha../sub -/+..cap alpha../sub +/) result gives unique information on the timemore » component of the axial-vector current.« less

DIRECT COMPARISON OF THE B$sup 12$ AND N$sup 12$ BETA SPECTRA

Journal Article Glass, N; Peterson, R - Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

An experimental direct comparison of the shapes of the B/sup 12/ and N/ sup 12/ beta decay spectra was made as a test of the validity of the conserved vector current theory (CVCT). The comparison was made at corresponding momentum points normalized to the end-point momenta of the spectra using a 5-channel 180 deg magnetic spectrometer. The comparative shape factor was measured to have an energy dependence of 1.62 plus or minus 0.28% per Mev, to be compared with a predicted value of 1.10 plus or minus 0.17% per Mev on the basis of the CVCT. The measured end-point energymore »« less

COMPARISON OF THE BETA SPECTRA OF B$sup 12$ AND N$sup 1$$sup 2$

Journal Article Mayer-kuckuk, T; Michel, F - Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

The conserved-vector-current (CVC) theory predicts a deviation from the allowed shape of the B/sup 12/ and N/sup 12/ beta spectra. The ratio of the shape factors of the two spectra is expected to have an energy dependence of (1.10 plus or minus 0.17)% per Mev. If the CVC hynothesis is not invoked, this ratio is estimated to be an order of magnitude smaller. The two spectra have been measured with a magnetic spectrometer and found to give for this ratio the value (1.30 plus or minus 0.31)% per Mev.

EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE CONSERVED VECTOR CURRENT THEORY ON THE BETA SPECTRA OF B$sup 12$ AND N$sup 1$$sup 2$

Journal Article Lee, Y; Mo, L; Wu, C - Phys. Rev. Letters

A precise measurement of the beta spectra of B/sup 12/ and N/sup 12/ was made as an experimental confirmation of the conserved vector current (CVC) theory. Great care was taken as to the precision of the results. End-point energies obtained from the Curie plots of the BETA rays are 13.373 ction in DDT-C/ 0.04 and 16.43 ction in DDT-C/ 0.10 Mev for B/sup 12/ and N/sup 12/, respectively. Thus investigation confirms that the deviations from the allowed shape of the observed beta spectra for B/sup 12/ and N/sup 12/ have the correct magnitude and sign due to a weak magnetismmore »« less

New limit of the G-parity irregular weak nucleon current detected in {beta} decays of spin aligned {sup 12}B and {sup 12}N

Journal Article Minamisono, K; Matsuta, K; Minamisono, T; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The G-parity irregular induced tensor form factor in the weak nucleon axial vector current has been precisely determined by measuring the alignment correlation terms in the {beta}-ray angular distributions of the purely spin aligned mirror pair {sup 12}B(I{sup {pi}}=1{sup +},T{sub 1/2}=20.2 ms) and {sup 12}N(I{sup {pi}}=1{sup +},T{sub 1/2}=11.0 ms) in order to place a new limit on the applicability of the G-parity conservation law. The coefficient of the induced tensor term was determined to be 2Mf{sub T}/f{sub A}=-0.15{+-}0.12{+-}0.05(theor.) in 90% confidence level. The obtained 2Mf{sub T}/f{sub A} is vanishingly small and is consistent with the theoretical prediction based on QCDmore »« less
