Search For Right-Handed Weak Currents In The Beta-Asymmetry-Polarization Correlation From N-12 Decay

The polarization of positions emitted along and opposite to the nuclear spin direction has been measured in the decay of polarized N-12. The results are consistent with the Standard Model prediction. In manifest left-right symmetric models this measurement provides a lower limit of 220 GeV/c(2) at 90% CL on the mass of an eventual right-handed gauge boson contributing to the electroweak interaction.
