Abstract

The study of the angular distribution and correlation of nuclear radiations is applied to two broad classes of phenomena. The first of these, to which the term “angular correlation” is normally applied, concerns the decay, by the emission of successive radiationsl, of radioactive nuclei, and of nuclei which have been produced in unstable excited states. These radiations may be detected at particular directions with respect to the decaying nuclei and the relative probability of detection of the cascade is then a function, inter alia, of these directions. In addition to this directional correlation, which refers to directions of emission only, other angle variables may be involved, e.g. if the efficiency of the detectors of radiation depends also on the state of polarisation of the radiations, and in such cases the appropriate correlation functions are more complex functions of several angles. Furthermore, if the original system of decaying nuclei is not isotropic, in a statistical sense, or if the cascade of radiation occurs in the presence of some anisotropic disturbance, such as an extra-nuclear electromagnetic field, then the correlation function will involve angles relating the directions of emission and of polarisation to those characterising the original or external anisotropies, as well as angles characteristic of the relative directions of emission and polarisation themselves.
