First-Forbidden Beta Decay

Creators: Weidenmüller, Hans A.

Abstract

In the last few years study of the laws of β decay has been the object of many experimental and theoretical investigations. As a consequence, the form of the nuclear (β-decay interaction is now well-established. We know that β decay violates parity conservation completely, and can be written V-A for electron (negaton) emission (TEN 58).
