Abstract:

The natural decay of the free neutron is investigated where the beta-transition of the nucleon is considered to be caused by the intermediation of a boson field. The results are compared with those of Fermi's theory, and the problem of whether the β-coupling belongs to the interactions of the first kind or not is discussed.
