Abstract
The contribution of so-called detour transitions to the internal bremsstrahlung accompanying nuclear beta decay is calculated. These are transitions in which the nucleus rather than the electrons radiates the photon. It is shown that such contributions will in general be important for forbidden beta decays. For the unique first-forbidden case, the photon spectrum, angular correlation and polarization are calculated explicitly.
