Abstract
I HAVE computed the electrical interaction between the heavy electrons as introduced by Yukawa1 and recently discussed by Kemmer, Fröhlich, Stueckelberg and others2, using the Dirac-Proca3 equations for particles of spin one. It was thought that such a calculation would furnish polarization effects analogous to, and yet, because of the different spin, different from the effect found by Mott4 for the scattering of electrons. The method used was the usual Born-Dirac calculus of perturbation.
