Where is the electron-nucleon interaction? On the surface of the nucleus, or at the origin (R-0) ?
Fermi V-A theory is a mathematical framework used to describe the weak nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It was developed by Enrico Fermi and others in the 1930s and 1940s.
Fermi V-A theory explains the Weak Interaction as a force that is responsible for radioactive decay and interactions between subatomic particles. It is mediated by the exchange of W and Z bosons between particles.
The Weak Interaction occurs in the nucleus of an atom, between subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons. It is also involved in interactions between leptons, such as electrons and neutrinos.
Fermi V-A theory differs from other theories of the Weak Interaction in that it describes the Weak Interaction as a contact force, meaning that particles involved in the interaction must physically touch each other. This is in contrast to other theories that describe the Weak Interaction as a force acting at a distance.
Fermi V-A theory is used in various fields of physics, including nuclear physics and particle physics. It has also been applied in other areas such as astrophysics and cosmology. Additionally, the principles of Fermi V-A theory have been used in the development of nuclear reactors and medical imaging techniques.
