Axial Vector Current Conservation in Weak Interactions

Open access
Nambu, Yoichiro·1960·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Watanabe.v It should be noted, however, that some variants of their theory may be found which cannot be disproved by one negative experiment alone.Therefore, it is desirable that both of these experiments be performed.It seems to be rather difficult to invent a theory of the Tanikawa type which does not give a resonance in any of the processes v+p, v+n, e+p, and e+n, where v and e denote either particles or antiparticle s.We conclude that it is probably worthwhile to search for possible anomalies in electron and neutrino reactions over the energy range which may be covered with the present accelerators before looking into weak processes at higher energies.I should like to thank C. R. Schumacher for checking some of the calculations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
