Abstract

The alignment correlation terms in the β-ray angular distributions from the purely spin aligned mirror pair 12B(Iπ = l+,T1/2 = 20.2ms) and 12N(Iπ = 1+,T1/2 = 11.0 ms) were precisely measured to place a new limit on the G-parity conservation law. For the creation of the alignment, the spin manipulation technique was applied, which utilized the nuclear quadrupole interactions. The G- parity violating induced tensor coefficient was determined to be 2M fT/FA = –0.15 ± 0.12 ± 0.05 (theor.), which is consistent with the theoretical prediction based on QCD in which 2M fT /FA is proportional to the mass difference between up and down quarks which constitute the nucleon. Also determined the axial charge to be y = 4.90 ± 0.10 (90% CL). From the result, we have found that the nucleon mass inside the nucleus is reduced (16 ± 4)% relative to the free nucleon mass.
