Abstract

It is shown that the systematic asymmetry observed between positron and negatron emitters in mirror Gamow-Teller

β

decay is not due to binding-energy differences between the respective

β

-transforming nucleons; it must be due either to a fundamental weak interaction effect or to a nuclear structure effect of some type not yet quantitatively discussed.
