Abstract

It is an application, the Author says, of the statistical method devised by Fermi.

Talk given at the 22nd General Meeting of the Italian Physical Society, Rome, 29 December 1928. Translated from Majorana dr. Ettore: Ricerca di un’espressione generale delle correzioni di Rydberg, valevole per atomi neutri o ionizzati positivamente, “Il Nuovo Cimento”, vol. 6 (1929) XIV–XVI, by F. Guerra and N. Robotti.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that in the original text of “Il Nuovo Cimento” it is erroneously printed \(0.47 z^{-\frac {1}{3}}\) instead of \(0.47 Z^{-\frac {1}{3}}\). (Note of the Editor.)

  2. 2.

    In “Il Nuovo Cimento” aside the value “5” in the table, there appears, for a presumable typo, also the value “0.7”. (Note of the Editor.)
