HE purpose of this note is to give a simple proof, based on symmetry arguments, of a conjecture made by Critchfield and Teller' concerning the angular distribution of the outgoing particles in. a nuclear reaction, This conjecture, which is at the outset very plausible, may be stated as follows: In a, nuclear reaction produced with an unpolarised beam of given orbital angular momentum incident on an unpolarized target, the angular distribution of the outgoing intensity cannot
