Abstract

Kim and Primakoff have shown that certain $T$ -violating currents cannot contribute to neutron $β$ decay because of their properties under charge symmetry. Here we show that the same currents cannot contribute to strangeness-conserving $β$ -decay transitions within any isomultiplet. We also extend the result to strangeness-violating decays by means of $V$ spin.
