Maurice Goldhaber, L. Grodzins and A. W. Sunyar inferred neutrino helicity indirectly from a nuclear-decay sequence. After electron capture, the recoiling excited nucleus emits a gamma ray; selecting resonantly scattered gamma rays preferentially selects a recoil direction. A magnetized absorber analyzes the circular polarization of that selected radiation. Combining the angular-momentum relation with the measured polarization gave evidence for negative neutrino helicity, rather than requiring a direct spin measurement on a detected neutrino.[ref]
