Abstract

Effects due to non-conservation of parity such as longitudinal and transverse polarization of β-electrons, angular distribution of β-electrons from an oriented nucleus (including the case when the direction of the recoil nucleus momentum is fixed) are examined in the present paper for the cases of allowed β-transitions and first order forbidden transitions. It is shown that owing to the influence of the Coulomb field the magnitude of these effects for forbidden transitions in heavy and intermediate nuclei is the same as for allowed transitions. Perceptible deviations are observed in light nuclei ( Z ⪅ 20). In the particular case of a 0-0 transition comparison with experiment may yield important data on the contribution of pseudoscalar coupling. Unique transitions ( Δj = 2, yes) for which the electron angular distribution of oriented nuclei essentially differs from that for allowed transitions are considered separately.
