A novel technique is described for the observation of the nuclear magnetic resonance of some short-lived nuclides; namely, those which may be produced by slow-neutron capture and which decay by beta-emission. Substantial nuclear polarization is obtained by the use of polarized neutrons, permitting observation of the parity-violating anisotropy in the beta-emission as a relative measure of the polarization and hence of its change when (in addition to a strong magnetic field) an r.f. magnetic field is applied.
