Abstract
A local realistic model of optical cascades, involving just one angular hidden variable, is found to give a coincidence curve which differs from the quantum-theoretic curve by an average of 1.5% for currently realizable experiments. The results indicates that it is extremely difficult, though not impossible, to use such experiments to discriminate between quantum theory and local realistic theories. However, in no experiment performed to date has sufficient accuracy been achieved to make such a discrimination.
