The universal Fermi interaction

EJ Konopinski, HM Mahmoud - Physical Review, 1953 - APS
On the basis of the hypothesis that the same form of interaction acts among any spin-½
particles, it is interesting to apply the interaction law found for β decay to the muon …

Theory of the Fermi interaction

RP Feynman, M Gell-Mann - Physical Review, 1958 - APS
The representation of Fermi particles by two-component Pauli spinors satisfying a second
order differential equation and the suggestion that in β decay these spinors act without …

Mass reversal and weak interactions

JJ Sakurai - Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965), 1958 - Springer
An attempt is made to construct a theory of all weak processes from a single invariance
principle. The requirement that the weak interaction Hamiltonian be invariant under the …

Interaction between four half-spin particles and the decay of the μ-meson

L Michel - Proceedings of the Physical Society. Section A, 1950 - iopscience.iop.org
The general direct coupling between four fermions is studied. It is a linear combination of the
five invariants used in β-decay theory. Altering the order of the particles in the Hamiltonian …

Law of conservation of muons

G Feinberg, S Weinberg - Physical Review Letters, 1961 - APS
The apparent absence of muon-electron transi-tions without neutrinos, such as p. e+ y, p. 3e,
and p+ p~ e+ p, leads one to suspect that there is a new conservation law forbiddingthem …

On the universal Fermi interaction

SA Bludman - Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965), 1958 - Springer
The parity-non-conserving, VA form of Fermi interaction is derived from a principle of
invariance under a continuous group of transformations, in analogy with the ordinary gauge …

Radiative corrections to Fermi interactions

T Kinoshita, A Sirlin - Physical Review, 1959 - APS
The radiative correction to the decay spectrum of polarized muons is recalculated taking into
account a mistake in our previous work which was recently pointed out by Berman. The …

The universal Fermi interaction and the conserved vector current in beta decay

CS Wu - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1964 - APS
As early as1948the great similarity in the strength of the coupling constants in beta decay,
muon decay, and muon capture had tempted several authors''to postulate a universal Fermi …

[CITATION][C] The physics of muons and muon neutrinos

G Feinberg, LM Lederman - Annual Review of Nuclear Science, 1963 - annualreviews.org
The discovery that the neutrinos from pion-muon-neutrino (7r-J..!-v) decay are distinct from
the neutrinos of/3 decay has made it clear that a distinct class of particles exists which, so …

Theory of -Meson Decay with the Hypothesis of Nonconservation of Parity

C Bouchiat, L Michel - Physical Review, 1957 - APS
The measure of the asymmetry fS as a function of y gives t'a and tP. The magnitude of the
parameter f, which isthe degree of polarization of the p meson, depends on the …
