What is recorded here?
Formulated a quantitative theory of beta decay in which an electron and neutrino are created in a nuclear transition through a contact interaction analogous to radiation emission.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record targets Fermi's 1934 Il Nuovo Cimento paper, not every 1933 preliminary communication or the German translation. Its original vector-coupling theory predates the later V-A weak-interaction structure, electroweak theory and experimental refinements.
