Popis: The longitudinal polarization of direct μ+-mesons, produced by 70 GeV protons and having transverse momentum P┴ μ = 2.8 GeV/c, has been measured. On the basis of these measurements as well as of similar ones made for P┴ μ = 2.0 GeV/c, a value of the polarization of- (0.85 ± 0.36) has been obtained. This indicates production of direct leptons due to weak interactions.
