Abstract
THE experiments of Stern show that the magnetic momentum of the proton is greater than it should be if the proton were an elementary particle. Therefore the proton may be considered as consisting of a neutron and a positron. If the Anderson positron is identical with the Dirac-Oppenheimer anti-electron, then according to the symmetry of the positive and negative electricity in Dirac's theory of holes, the positron should have a spin momentum of ½ and should obey Fermi statistics. (This view may be confirmed by the fact that Dirac's theory of holes in all probability gives an explanation of the continuous -spectrum, especially of the sharp upper limit.) This leads at once to the conclusion that, contrary to the present hypothesis, the neutron should have an integral spin momentum and should obey Bose Statistics.
