$beta$-$gamma$ POLARIZATION CORRELATION IN THE $beta$-DECAY OF Sc$sup 4$$sup 6$

The correlation between the beta -electron transverse polarization and gamma -quantum circular polarization has been measured. The magnitude of the correlation is proportional to an interference term of the type Im(VT, SA). The experimental data indicate with a statistical accuracy of approximately 30% that no such term exists and this is not inconsistent with the existing theory of beta decay. (auth)
