Abstract
It was demonstrated that the relative radical concentration was distinguishably higher in D-alanine than in L-alanine when irradiation was carried out by using yttrium-90 β-ray source. On the other hand, when irradiation was carried out by using non-polarized β-rays derived from Van de Graaf generator, no such difference was observed in the radical formation of both alanines. The results suggested that some process being involved in the parity non-conservation in a β-decay must play an important role in the observed phenomenon.
