If the intermediate state interacts with a magnetic field of sufficient strength for a sufficient length of time, then the experimentally observed correlation will be attenuated. Specifically, for a constant magnetic field, B, a nucleus with spin I and magnetic moment will precess about the direction of B with the Larmor precession frequency.

Detector response function 1.For a typical angular correlation measurement, it is necessary to calculate a solid angle correction Q k for each parameter A k. 2.However, for very low intensity transitions, the sensitivity of the angular correlation measurement can be improved by the detector response function R n (q, E1, E2). 3.For a given detector pair, the response function describes the distribution of possible angles about the central angle of the pair as a function of energy. The response functions for each pair can then be summed to find the response function of each angle bin.
1.We calculate the response function using a simple Monte Carlo simulation, with the ray transport simulated up to the first collision. This is equivalent to the traditional calculation of Q k. 2.The mean free path, l(E), of -rays was calculated using the known Gammasphere detector properties. 3.The energy dependence of R n ( , E1, E2) is negligible, and so only R n ( ) was calculated.
