Capture of Orbital Electrons
Abstract
The usual procedure of writing the interaction term as where (N,P) (n,e) represent the heavy and light particles respectively, leads to a transition probability4 A I y^pdT 2 (4#M (W0 ± W)- a = 1 ^ ' Uhlenbeck The ± sign depends upon the electron being absorbed from a state of positive or negative energy. For the-ratio FjcjF the evaluation of (44 4) from the known form5 of the wave -functions for a -K-electron, gives for small Z - W)" Uhlenbeck where y = Z/137.
