T1 - The attenuation of nuclear alignment along cascades in recoil-distance lifetime measurements
AU - Stuchbery, Andrew E.
PY - 1997/2/1

N2 - An accurate formalism is developed to treat the loss of nuclear alignment due to vacuum deorientation in the case where the nucleus decays through a sequence of excited states. Comparisons are made between the exact and simpler, approximate treatments. The implications for the analysis of recoil-distance lifetime measurements are discussed.
