37 Prospects Experimental verification It is obvious that our findings must be corroborated by the study of other two-body beta decays (EC and β b ). 9 A similar analysis can be applied to a K-capture experiment... Here there are a number of initial states having different degrees of ionization. Interference can only occur between initial states having the same degree of ionization. Otherwise the analysis is the same. 10 New method for studying neutrino mixing If the effect is real and realistic theoretical model can be set up, this is a new method to study neutrino oscillation without the need to directly detect neutrinos. 9 Yu.
