Pauli comments on a paper by Heisenberg about nuclear forces and its relation to the Yukawa-theory.
Sin títuloPauli makes two remarks concerning Heisenberg's letter of 5 April about nuclear forces.
Sin títuloHeisenberg doubts about the usefulness of the Yukawa-potential for nuclear physics. He talks about the relative abundance of light and heavy particles in explosions.
Sin títuloHeisenberg talks about the classical electron-radius as an upper limit of the universal length. He does not believe in Pauli's remark that the potential between proton and neutron at larger distances can be found from mass-defect measurements. In the "wave-like" region one cannot from the potential at large distances and effects resulting from the failure of quantum mechanics for p~h/ro.
Sin títuloPauli agrees with Heisenberg's letter of the 23 May which clarifies the question of decidability between various laws of force in proton-neutron scattering.
Sin títuloPauli talks about the question of Beta-spectra. The literature gives ample evidence against Heisenberg's hypothesis.
Sin títuloPauli writes on philosophical remarks on the essence of the human spirit, on Jung's archetypes and feeling of evidence and on the significance of irrational factors in life.
Sin títuloPauli asks Dirac to help a young jewish cousin of his who was forced to leave Austria for racial reaons and is now in danger to be expelled from Switzerland. He writes about his recent investigations with Fierz on particles with an arbitrary spin. He asks if they could be published in the Proc. Roy. Soc. He makes some remarks on Dirac's paper on the theory of the electron.
Sin títuloKemmer gives a development of a convenient formalism for the wave equation, different from the usual representation of Dirac's Hamiltonian.
Sin títuloThe letter contains some calculations on irreducible group representations.
