Note on possible rare decay modes for elementary particles

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Some of the bound-state decay processes of elementary particles, like a neutron decaying into a hydrogen-atom, are investigated. It is found that they may happen in a rate of one to a million, compared to the usual modes.

Riassunto

Si studiano alcuni dei decadimenti delle particelle elementari in sistemi legati, come il decadimento del neutrone in atomo di idrogeno e neutrino. Si trova che essi possono avvenire con la probabilità di uno a un milione rispetto ai comuni modi di decadimento.
