Abstract

A review of polarization-sensitive processes and different methods for measurements of polarization of nuclear gamma rays is given. Experimental results are presented in tabular form, the various processes being classified according to the type of orientation which is produced, either alignment or polarization. The possible polarization correlation for each case is listed. (C.J. G.)
