Fermi's interaction

Fermi's interaction refers to the fundamental weak nuclear force that governs the interactions of elementary particles, particularly those involving leptons (like electrons and neutrinos) and quarks. This interaction is largely described within the framework of the electroweak theory, which unifies the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force. The term "Fermi interaction" is often associated with Enrico Fermi, who made significant contributions to the understanding of weak interactions in the early 20th century.
