T. Yamaguchi et al., Spin control of B-12 and N-12 and the axial charge from their beta-ray spin-alignment correlations, HYPER INTER, 121(1-8), 1999, pp. 701-705
The spin manipulation technique by use of the beta-NMR is further refined,
based on the recent thorough studies of hyperfine interactions of B-12 and
N-12 in Mg. By using this technique, the alignment correlation terms in the
beta-ray angular distribution of the A = 12 system are precisely measured,
so that the axial charge is singled out to be y = 4.66 +/- 0.06 (stat.) +/
- 0.13 (syst.) which shows clear mesonic enhancement over the impulse value
.
