Abstract
This paper describes an experimental study of the decay parameters and the magnetic moment of the . A 1.8-GeV/c beam derived from the Bevatron was used to produce by the reaction . The and resulting decay products of the were used to trigger a spark-chamber system, pictures from which yielded a total of 2724 events which passed all measuring criteria. The were produced in an intense (170 kG) magnetic field obtained from a pulsed magnet. The precession of the magnetic moment of the in the presence of this field can be measured from the angular distribution of the decay products and a value of the magnetic moment obtained. The decay parameters and polarization of the are also obtained from the angular distribution of the decay products; we obtain , , and . The accuracy of the magnetic moment value is severely limited by the low value of polarization and experimental biases in the distribution; we obtain nuclear magnetons.
