Abstract

A measurement made on gamma rays following beta -decay and Coulomb excitation can be applied to gamma rays from nuclear reactions. The measurement is that of the degree of linear polarization. Measurements of the linear polarization and angular distributions of gamma rays from nuclear reactions can yield the parity change in the transition and can, when combined with other data such as angular distributions from capture reactions, yield in principle unambiguous information on dipole-quadrupole admixtures.
