Abstract
A general analysis of semi‐leptonic weak interactions in nuclei (neutrino reactions, charged‐lepton capture, and β‐decay) is presented in parallel with electron scattering (e,e’) through the electromagnetic interaction. It is argued that (e,e’) can be used as a known probe to measure nuclear transition densities which can then be used as known analyzers in studying the nature of the weak interactions. Weak coupling constants, second‐class currents, neutrino interactions, and weak neutral currents are examined. Simultaneously, reliable predictions for as‐yet‐unmeasured weak nuclear processes are obtained. Several examples are discussed.
