Abstract
An analysis of 515 decays in a Freon-filled bubble chamber is described. The events were kinematically overdetermined so that a complete reconstruction of each decay was possible. All decay configurations were detectable except for those with positron momentum less than 5 . The data are satisfactorily described by a pure vector interaction. The energy dependence of the vector form factor is given by , with MeV, or equivalently, , with . In the Callan-Treiman relationship for and decays, this value of leads to the prediction that . Upper limits for scalar and tensor currents are given. Systematic biases inherent in the heavy-liquid-chamber technique are discussed.
