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 experimental clarification of the theory of beta-decay

EJ Konopinski, LM Langer - Annual review of nuclear science, 1953 - annualreviews.org
Fermi advanced his successful theory of p-decay in 1934. It has since then undergone
development in which two general directions may be dis cerned. One has been a …

Values of Pure Fermi Beta Decays and the Magnitude of the Vector Coupling Constant

JM Freeman, JG Jenkin, G Murray, WE Burcham - Physical Review Letters, 1966 - APS
Of considerable interest in the theoryof weak intera. ctions are the magnitude of Gp, the
vector coupling constant in beta decay, and the ratio (G&-Gp)/G&, where G& is the coupling …

Second class currents in nuclear beta-decay?

DH Wilkinson - Physics Letters B, 1970 - Elsevier
All available data (11 cases) on mirror beta-decay are analyzed. The results scatter widely
but the mean trend of (∫ t)+(∫)−− 1 is significantly positive, consistent with a linear …

The axial vector current in beta decay

M Gell-Mann, M Lévy - Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965), 1960 - Springer
In order to derive in a convincing manner the formula of Goldberger and Treiman for the rate
of charged pion decay, we consider the possibility that the divergence of the axial vector …

Remark on the status of non-conservation of parity in nuclear beta-decay

J Van Klinken, FWJ Koks, H Behrens - Physics Letters B, 1978 - Elsevier
Equality of β-decay coupling constants C′ A/CA= C′ V/CV= 1, implying VA interaction, is
less verified than commonly assumed. Deducing limits 0.52< C′ V/CV< 1.93 and 0.82< C …

[PDF][PDF] Fermi's theory of beta decay

FL Wilson - American Journal of Physics, 1968 - aesop.phys.utk.edu
In 1934, Enrico Fermi, then a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome, Italy,
proposed his clear and simple description of [3 decay. He assumed the existence of the …

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 partially conserved axial-vector current and mesonic exchange effects in nuclear beta decay

RJ Blin-Stoyle, M Tint - Physical Review, 1967 - APS
By assuming that the axial-vector current is partially conserved, a relationship is obtained
between the phenomenological meson-exchange operator in beta decay and the two-body …
