On weak interactions of elementary particles

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

A transformation similar to the one proposed by Pauli is suggested for the description of 4-vectors rotations in a Euclidian [4] space. Specializing these rotations to rotations in «M » space in the way described by several authors, one is led to a general description of weak interactions which, though rather similar to the one previously studied, nevertheless presents some significant new features, and seems freer from ad hocassumptions.

Riassunto

Per la descrizione delle rotazioni dei 4-vettori nello spazio [4] euclideo si propone una trasformazione simile a quella proposta da Pauli. Limitando queste rotazioni alle rotazioni nello spazio «M » nel modo descritto da diversi autori, si è condotti ad una descrizione generale delle interazioni deboli, la quale, benchè abbastanza simile a quella studiata precedentemente, presenta, nondimeno, alcuni nuovi aspetti di rilievo e appare meno legata ad ipotesi particolari.
