Abstract

Degenerate states of nuclei, atoms, or radiations are identified by their tensor properties, that is, by the mean values of a set of multipole operators. A treatment is outlined which serves to construct angular correlation functions on a geometrical basis and provides a geometrical interpretation of known correlation formulas; the dynamics of specific nuclear reactions influences only a final averaging procedure.
