SOME CONSEQUENCES OF THE SYMMETRY OF THE UNIVERSAL FERMI WEAK INTERACTION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4157476
It is shown that the invariance of the universal V-A Fermi weak interaction with respect to the Fierz transformation forbids the mu /sup -/ meson being captured by the proton in the triplet S state. It also forbids the mu /sup -/ meson being captured by the proton in the singlet S state with the emission of one photon. It is shown further that the state of the two fermions or that of two anti-fermions produced in all weak interaction processes can be described by one wave function, if the effects of other interactions involving these two particles are neglected. In particular, the general functions describing the polarization correlation are given. The asymmetry in the angular distribution of the neutron emitted by a nucleus after capturing a mu -meson is discussed. (auth)
