Electromagnetic Production Of Pion Pairs, Clayton D. Zerby

Doctoral Dissertations

The Pauli-Weisskopf theory of electromagnetic production of pion pairs has been a subject of interest in various connections for many years. Recently new interest has been stimulated in the theory because pion pair production is a possible means of investigating the - interaction. This approach, which was originally suggested by Pomeranchuk, is particularly valid in view of the increase in the cross section, when the strong pion-nucleus interaction is included, over that obtained by the original theory. The purpose of this work was to study the Pauli-Weiskopf theory with the objective of including the strong pion-nucleus interaction and developing an …

Pseudoscalar Interaction In Nuclear Beta Decay, Chander Perkash Bhalla

Masters Theses

In Chapter I, the statement of the problem considered in this dissertation is given: the investigation of the existence of the pseudo­ scalar interaction by the formulation of the theoretical expressions for the beta longitudinal polarization and the beta spectrum in 0 --> 0 (yes) beta transitions and by a comparison of the existing experimental data with the developed theory.

In Chapter II, we explain the reasons for the incorrectness of the conventional treatment of the pseudoscalar interaction, and then give the correct form of the operator for this interaction.

In Chapter III, using the correct form of the pseudoscalar …
