Abstract:

The possibility of extending the concept of iso-spin to leptons produced in the lepton reactions – the K-meson decays (K_µ2, K_µ3 and K_e3 decays), pion decays, muon decays, β-decays, and nuclear capture of muon – is investigated. If we assign the iso-spin one half ofor muons and electrons, and zero for the neutrinos produced in the K_µ2 decays, we can find out a suitable selection rule which allows all the well estabilshed lepton reactions and forbids all the unwanted ones. This method is applied to the K-meson decays in which the lepton reactions coexist with the boson-boson decays (τ → 3π, θ → 2π).
