1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF TIOMNO & WHEELER'S NOTABLE "SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF THE STRENGTHS OF THE THREE TYPES OF BETA DECAY AND [PROPOSAL] THAT A UNIVERSAL WEAK FORCE GOVERNED ALL THREE" (History of Physics: The Wenner Collection). Apart from Fermi's, this was the first hint of a theory of weak interaction. Jayme Tiomno (1920-2011) and John Archibald Wheeler's (1911-2008) paper "examined the relationship of the varied weak processes both with and without the mediation of the strong pion-nucleon interaction" (Marshak, Conceptual Foundations of Modern Particle Physics, 92). Tiomno and Wheeler here prove that "there exist other reactions in nature in addition to Beta decay that have the same coupling strength and similar characteristics and are merely two different manifestations of a general Fermi interaction" (Wheeler and Tiomno, 49). In 1896 Henri Becquerel discovered radioactive emissions; though not identified as such, this was the first indication of the weak interaction. In 1934, Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) provided the first theoretical explanation of beta decay through a mechanism called the "Fermi interaction" or "Fermi coupling," incorporating Pauli's "neutron" and coining the name "neutrino" for that particle. Fermi's theory of the weak interaction was incomplete, but inspired work that led to more complete theories" - the work of Tiomno and Wheeler being among the most important (ibid).
