Abstract

The decay rate of mesons ( mu⁻) differs from that of mesons ( mu⁺)for heavy elements the ratio considerabiy decreases. Near Z = 26 the ratio is >1. To account for the maximum and Z-dependence of the decay rate ratio, the rest mass of one of the decay neutrinos is assumed to differ from zero. The calculations are restricted to obtaining a non-zero linear term in the interaction approximation for the neutrino rest mass. It is found that this assumption fails to explain the maximum of the decay rate ratio curve near Z = 26. (C.E.S.)
