The parity-and isospin-forbidden a decay from ' O*(J =2, T =1, E =12.9686 MeV) to ' C(g.s.) has been investigated theoretically. Considering various strong and weak interaction models the longitudinal Al and the irregular transverse Ab analyzing powers of the reaction "N(p, ao)' C have been calculated in the energy range of the 2 resonance in ' 0*. Energy anomalies for the expected interference effects, relevant for experiments, have been found to be AL =1.1X10 ' and A& =0.9X10 ' at 8=90' and AL=1.4X10 ' and Ab=0. 2X10 ' at 0=150' based on a conservative value of 0.1 eV for the parity-nonconservation matrix element. A proposal for an experimental investigation is sketched.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
