Angular distributions and polarization of /5 particles are considered on the basis of the most general assumption possible regarding the form of the interaction operator, including effects due to Coulomb field and finiteness of nuclear dimensions. Results are obtained for allowed transitions, first-order forbidden transitions in intermediate and heavy nuclei (Coulomb transitions), unique transitions [Ay=2 (yes)], and 0 -> 0 (yes) transitions.In accord with the notations usually accepted, a denotes here the type of interaction (S, T, P, V, or A), O a are the corresponding matrices, Ts = -c:) C a and CJ are complex constants, ty p and ty n are heavyparticle operators, and \f/ e and \f/ y are light-particle operators.Some results on effects involving allowed transitions were obtained by Jackson, Treiman, and Wyld, 3 Ebel and Feldman, 4 and Shmushkevich 5 on the basis of the general Hamiltonian (1.1), taking into account the nuclear Coulomb field. In a previous paper 6 (to be referred to in the following as I), we obtained results for allowed as well as for first forbidden transitions. However, only S, T, and P interactions were considered and the ratio C a '/C a was assumed to be the same (and equal to -1) for various types of 13 interactions. The purpose of the present paper is to obtain results which are free of these restrictions. Moreover, the finite size of the nucleus will be taken into account.
