Abstract
THERE is a well-known technique1 for the measurement of magnetic moments of short-lived nuclear states. A strong external magnetic field applied to a radioactive source which emits γ-rays in a cascade process will influence the nuclear spin of the intermediate state, and thus change the γ–γ angular correlation. The strength of the interaction is a measure of the nuclear moment, and the theory of the process has been worked out2,3.
