The relation between observed beta asymmetry and the static magnetic guide field is investigated for the capture of neutrons by ⁷Li, ¹⁹F and ²⁷Al.

Energy dependence of the beta asymmetry in the decay of <sup>8</sup>Li
1988, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The energy dependence of the asymmetry in the beta decay of ⁸ Li to the first excited state of ⁸Be has been measured. Expectations based on the conserved-vector-current hypothesis and the spherical shell model are in good agreement with the measured asymmetry for beta energies above ∼5 MeV. No second class currents are needed to explain the data but the present experiment is not a very sensitive test.
