Abstract

In the allowed time, this review talk cannot be a complete survey of the problem of purely leptonic currents. We concentrate our approach to weak neutral leptonic currents for which unquestionable experimental evidence has been found. For a long time, the non-observation of neutral currents was a puzzle for theorists and fortunately no satisfactory explanation for their absence was found.

Il n’y a que les questions de pure algèbre que l’on peut traiter en soi-même et par la tête seule. C’est à l’observation de trancher, quand il s’agit de choses réelles.

Paul Valéry, Variété II (1929).
