ANGULAR CORRELATIONS IN LAMBDA BETA DECAY
Abstract
A current-current type of interaction is assumed with the conventional lepton current coupled to a general hyperon current involving 6 unknown form factors. The expression obtained for the electron proton angular correlation is to a large extent dominated by phase space and for reasonable assumptions about the form factors the angular distrbution of electrons with respect to the proton momentum is always peaked in the backward direction. This also holds true for a scalar, pseudoscalar or a tensor inteaction. Finally, some comments are made on the effect of an intermediate particle. (Author)
