Title: New Method for Precision Positron Polarimetry: First Results and Future Applications

The decays of $^{22}\mathrm{Na}$ and $^{68}\mathrm{Ga}$ have been compared to 1% accuracy with a first-generation instrument. Systematic studies indicate that an eventual accuracy of 4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ can be reached, allowing improved limits to be set on parity-symmetric formulations of the weak interactions.Read More
