THE EXPERIMENTAL CLARIFICATION OF THE LAWS OF $beta$-RADIOACTIVITY

Journal Article · · Ann. Rev. Nuclear Sci.
>A review of the basic Lee-Yang hvpothesis and Fermi's theory regarding beta radioactivity is given. Experiments which were performed to clarify the above hypothesis and theory are described. The experiments confirming the existence of the neutrino are discussed. The differences between neutrinos and antineutrinos are discussed in terms of lepton conservation and the two-component theory. The pion and muon decay processes are reviewed. The pionic effects tn Fermi interactions are discussed. (C.J.G.)
