Angular correlation and linear polarization measurements on unresolved gamma-ray cascades

A method for the determination of transition multipolarity and neighbouring level spins by means of direction- and polarization-correlation measurements on an unresolved mixture of gamma-ray cascades with one common transition is presented. The applicability of this method in particular problems is briefly discussed.The author wishes to thank Ing. J. Honzátko and Dr. J. Kopecký for helpful discussions and comments.
