Abstract: (Elsevier)
It is shown that π →ev γ decay is sensitive to the search for a tensor coupling in the effective quark-lepton four-fermion interaction. The experimental data from the ISTRA facility may be interpreted as an indication for a nonzero tensor coupling | φ T |≅4×10 −2 . The value obtained does not contradict the listed constraints on this coupling.
