Extract

1. The purpose of this paper is to examine in detail the types of radiation emitted by a quantum mechanical system (representing a nucleus) when the radiating particle changes its azimuthal quantum number l by two, one, or nought. We assume that the radiating particle is spinless* and that it moves in a field possessing central symmetry, so that the particle may be described by a wave function ψn,l,m which factorizes into radial and angular parts,

We assume secondly that the nucleus has a finite radius aN of the order of 10−12 cm., that is to say that π(r) = 0 for r > aN.

page 412 note * It should perhaps be mentioned that the sign of π in the potentials (3.06) and (3.08) is positive or negative according as Δm is positive or negative in (3.05) and (3.07). This difference is, however, quite trivial, and we consider only the positive sign.
