A unified theory for elementary-particle statistics

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

In 1927 Brillouin, supposing all elementary particles to be distinguishable, gave a unified approach to the three familiar statistics for particles. In order to do this, he assumed that each level has a capacity, each particle has a volume, and each particle in a level modifies its capacity. In this paper it is shown that it is possible to give a strictly probability reformulation of Brillouin's unified theory.
