Heisenberg talks of more progress about e$^{2}$(h.c.). He also writes of a solution of the Schrödinger equation in the present theory of holes by a power-series of e$^{2}$(h.c.).
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg writes on a typical difference betwen quantum electrodynamics and Fermi's Beta-Decay theory. The existence of cosmic ray showers can possibly be explained by Fermi's theory. He gives numerical calculations.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg talks about some plausibility arguments against Pauli's objections and about a possible solution for the interaction of neutrinos in the case of many particles. He writes about an application of a kind of Thomas-Fermi-method for the state of lowest energy. From this interaction the production of showers can possibly follow.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg gives a description of the present situation of the field-theory. In a more complete future theory there will exist no particles smaller than the universal length, and the divergences of the present theory will be avoided. He writes about more considerations about nuclear theory. The pair production observed up to now can only be interpreted as internal emission. About an experimental paper on shower production in great depth.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg talks more about cosmic radiation at great depths and Heisenberg's conjecture that it consists of neutrinos. He continues his calculations with the new formulation of the quantum theory of waves. It leads to relativistic and convergent results, but energy and momentum integrals are not known because of the lack of a Hamiltonian.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg writes about his marriage and gives more results about his attempt at convergent wave quantization: appearence of new infinities which cannot be avoid without loss of relativistic invariance. He talks about cosmic radiation: it seems as if his hypothesis of the neutrino origin of showers can be confirmed. He also talks about recent papers about the number of showers as function of layer-thickness.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg talks about a letter by Blackett and his experiments about energy loss in Cu plates. He speaks of the possibility of the existence of heavy particles in the showers. He writes on Heisenberg's considerations about explosions in and the existence of a universal length.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg objections about the impossibility of the localization of particles in the nucleus with a precision greater than h/($\mu$.c). He does not believe in a theory where $\mu$<M can be assumed. The theory of $\gamma$-ray interferences is a good example of the applicability of the explosion-hypothesis. He speaks of his belief in the existence of definite rest-masses of the same order of magnitude (h.c)/$\mu_{o}$.
Heisenberg, WernerHeisenberg sends Pauli the manuscript of his paper on explosions and asks for his comments.
