In 1933 Enrico Fermi published a paper on his theory of beta-decay. He describes it as a contact force, which means he didn't think there was a mediator as there was for the electrodynamic forces. Somewhere along the line, there must have been someone who suggested a mediating particle such as that proposed by Yukawa for the Strong Force. There is a hint that the Yang-Mill Theory inspired a mediator for the weak force, but I can find nothing until the unification of the electrodynamic and weak forces by Glashow, et al, in the 60s.
I'm looking for that missing link. Any clues would be appreciated.
