Description

The description of β-γ (circular polarization) correlations in the allowed decay of unoriented nuclei is extended to include possible right-handed currents within a partity symmetric model of weak interactions assuming manifest symmetry and essentially massless Dirac neutrinos. The result is of sensitivity generally equal to that of β polarization and asymmetry determinations. Present experiments are, however, insufficiently precise to permit the extraction of new information on their existence
