Consequences of Renormalizable Weak Interactions

Abstract

Consequences of the theory of renormalizable weak interactions caused by intermediary chiral bosons are further investigated with regard to the decay processes of the pion, $K$ meson, and hyperons. It is shown that all those aspects of weak couplings which can be satisfactorily explained in terms of the local Fermi interaction with $V-A$ combination can be equally well reproduced by the present model. Furthermore, on account of the convergence of the present theory, the results of computations are less ambiguous than those obtained from the local Fermi interaction model. Finally some possible experimental tests of the theory, mainly by the use of the nonlocalizability of the lepton interactions inherent in this theory, are discussed.
