  • Abstract
    The study of the polarization direction correlation method (PDCO) for γ quanta emitted from the nuclear states oriented in fusion-evaporation reactions is discussed with emphasis on making unique multipolarity assignments. The method is applied to the data coming from a typical experiment performed with the EUROGAM II array, where polarization-sensitive CLOVER detectors were used. The accuracy obtained in the experiment for the studied transitions was high enough to exclude, using the PDCO method, most of the ambiguities which occur if the assignments are made on the basis of angular correlation measurements alone.
