Abstract: | ![]() It was the aim of the present work to extract nuclear wave functions directly from experimental data of β-transitions. As a favourable example the 1? (1.153 MeVβ?)0+ β-transition of 210Bi(RaE) was studied. The results obtained are compared with theoretical wave functions and good quantitative agreement, especially for the ground state of the daughter nucleus 210Po, was found. It is explicitely demonstrated how, in this case, the higher order terms of the transition matrix elements contribute. The results for the matrix element ratios μ and Λ are discussed. In particular it is shown that it is not possible to test CVC theory by examining Λ. |
