Heavy Particle Interactions fromβ-Decay Theory

The small constant $g$ of a Fermi type coupling is replaced by a function of the momenta of the light particles. A simple form of this function leads to a satisfactory phenomenological description of $\beta$-decay and proton-neutron interaction. The application of this function to the like-particle interactions, however, gives for them poorly defined ranges and magnitudes which are too small. The discrepancies seem to be intrinsic, so that this attempt to reconcile $\beta$-decay and heavy particle interactions has been abandoned.
