Experimental Evidence for the Fermi Interaction in the Decay of and

R Sherr, JB Gerhart - Physical Review, 1953 - APS
The γ-ray spectra of O 14 and C 10 have been investigated with a NaI scintillation spectrometer.
A value of 2.30±0.03 Mev was found for the O 14 nuclear γ ray. C 10 has two γ rays with …

Decay and the Fermi Coupling Constant in Beta Decay

JB Gerhart - Physical Review, 1954 - APS
Because the constant ot is fixed by the demand that the total energy of the meson field be
equal to the selfenergy of the nucleon, Mc'= 938 Mev, and because, as a consequence of A (0) …

Observation of the 4.12-MeV Positron Spectrum Shape

GS Sidhu, JB Gerhart - Physical Review, 1966 - APS
The spectrum shape for the 4.12-MeV O 14→ N 14 allowed positron transition has been
measured in the positron energy range greater than 2 MeV. The observed shape deviates …
