Abstract

The nuclear spin alignments of the β-emitting fragments ¹²B(I^π = 1⁺, T_1/2 = 20.2 ms) and ¹³B(I^π = 3/2^-, T_1/2 = 17.4 ms) produced in the 100A-MeV ¹³C, ¹⁵N + ⁹Be collisions respectively have been observed for the first time detecting asymmetric β-ray emission from these nuclei. By means of the spin manipulation technique based on the hyperfine interaction of B isotopes in TiO₂, both the polarization P and the alignment A were determined reliably. The obtained P and A were significantly smaller than the expectation from the kinematical model. From the fact that the quenching factors for P and A are almost the same, there may be some depolarization mechanism in the collision process itself.
