Edward Teller and Nuclei: Along the Trail to the Neutrino
Abstract
I discuss two of Edward Teller's contributions to nuclear physics, the introduction of the Gamow-Teller operator in beta decay and the formulation of the Goldhaber-Teller model for electric dipole transitions, in the context of efforts to understand the weak interaction and the nature of the neutrino.
