	Enrico Fermi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enrico Fermi (September 29, 1901–November 28, 1954) was an Italian physicist most noted for his work on beta decay, the development of the first nuclear reactor, and for the development of quantum theory.
		In 1938, Fermi won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons".
		On November 28, 1954, Fermi died at the age of 53 of stomach cancer in Chicago, Illinois and was interred there in Oak Woods Cemetery.

	Fermi's interaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, Fermi's interaction is an old explanation of the weak force, proposed by Enrico Fermi.
		The solution is to replace the four-fermion contact interaction by a more complete theory (see UV completion) — an exchange of a W boson or a Z boson as explained in the electroweak theory.
		Before the electroweak theory and the Standard Model were constructed, George Sudarshan and Robert Marshak, and also independently Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann were able to determine the correct tensor structure (vector minus axial vector, V−A) of the four-fermion interaction.

	Enrico Fermi \| Physicist
		Fermi settled in the United States in 1939, and became professor of physics at Columbia University in New York City.
		Fermi was placed in charge of the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago in 1942.
		Laura Fermi traces her husband's career from his childhood, when he taught himself physics, through his rise in the Italian university system concurrent with the rise of fascism, to his receipt of the Nobel Prize, which offered a perfect opportunity to flee the country without arousing official suspicion, and his odyssey to the United States.

	Enrico Fermi - Biography
		Enrico Fermi was born in Rome on 29th September, 1901, the son of Alberto Fermi, a Chief Inspector of the Ministry of Communications, and Ida de Gattis.
		In 1944, Fermi became American citizen, and at the end of the war (1946) he accepted a professorship at the Institute for Nuclear Studies of the University of Chicago, a position which he held until his untimely death in 1954.
		Fermi was member of several academies and learned societies in Italy and abroad (he was early in his career, in 1929, chosen among the first 30 members of the Royal Academy of Italy).

	Fermi's Paradox
		Fermi realized that any civilization with a modest amount of rocket technology and an immodest amount of imperial incentive could rapidly colonize the entire Galaxy.
		Kaluza-Klein theory fails to resolve several problems, especially in the quantum realm, but the idea of using extra dimensions is revisited in the early 1980's.
		While it may be an effective theory that works at low energies, it cannot be the final theory of everything, mostly because of a problem with infinities.

		The fact that Thomas-Fermi theory is asymptotically correct in the limit of large nuclear charge is a classical result due to Lieb and Simon~\cite{LS}.
		We shall however also use Thomas-Fermi theory for other values of this parameter and we therefore allow it to be arbitrary for the moment.
		We consider the following function: \begin{equation} \label{eq:tf1} f^\beta({\cal R,Z})= \febe+\cf\sum^M_{J=1}Z_j^{7/3} \end{equation} Using the scaling properties of Thomas-Fermi theory we have \begin{equation} \label{eq:tf2} f^\beta({\cal R,Z})=\overline{Z}^{7/3}f^\beta\left(\overline{Z}^{1/3}{\cal R},\overline{Z}^{-1}{\cal Z}\right) \end{equation} In \cite{BL} the asymptotics of $\lambda^7f^\beta(\lambda{\cal R},{\cal Z})$ for large $\lambda$ was studied in the case of a finite number of nuclei.

	Fermi Theory of Beta Decay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		By 1934, Enrico Fermi had developed a theory of beta decay to include the neutrino, presumed to be massless as well as chargeless.
		Straightforward in concept, Fermi's Golden Rule says that the transition rate is proportional to the strength of the coupling between the initial and final states factored by the density of final states available to the system.
		But the nature of the interaction which led to beta decay was unknown in Fermi's time (the weak interaction).

	The Fermi Paradox: An Approach Based on Percolation Theory
		Many proposals for solutions to the Fermi paradox exist, all of which are unsatisfactory in one way or another [3].
		Proposed solutions to the Fermi paradox either deny the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations [1, 5], an assumption as yet unwarranted, or accept the possibility of extraterrestrial technological civilizations and propose explanations for why such civilizations may nevertheless not have colonized the galaxy.
		I propose a model for the problem based on the assumption that long-term colonization of the galaxy proceeds via a "percolation" process similar to the percolation problem which is well studied in condensed-matter physics.

	The Pion Beta Decay Experiment and A Remeasurement of the Panofsky Ratio - 2.1.1 Fermi Theory of the Beta Decay
		Fermi's idea was to compare the four-fermion point interaction as an interaction of two currents in analogy to the electromagnetic interaction.
		Fermi consequently introduced the weak current that decomposes into a hadronic and a leptonic current.
		Using the picture of second quantization (field quantization) the transition operator can be pictured as annihilator of the particle of the right hand side and creator of the particle on the left hand side.

		The Fermi liquid fixed point Hamiltonian with its leading order corrections is identified and we show that the mean field calculations for this model correspond to the Landau phenomenological approach.
		We then show how these results can be deduced by a reorganization of perturbation theory, in close parallel to that for the renormalized $\phi^4$ field theory.
		The parameters specifying the Fermi liquid fixed point Hamiltonian are related to the renormalized vertices appearing in the perturbation theory.

		An inversion theorem in Fermi surface theory (ResearchIndex)
		Abstract: We prove a perturbative inversion theorem for the map between the interacting and the noninteracting Fermi surface for a class of many fermion systems with strictly convex Fermi surfaces and short-range interactions between the fermions.
		This theorem gives a physical meaning to the counterterm function K that we use in the renormalization of these models: K can be identi ed as that part of the self{energy that causes the deformation of the Fermi surface when the interaction is turned on.

	Local Fermi Liquid Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		We develop the theory of a Fermi Liquid with the microscopic constraint of a local self-energy.(J. Engelbrecht and K. Bedell, Phys.
		For such a Local Fermi Liquid, the forward scattering sum-rule imposes strong limitations on the Fermi-Liquid parameters, which rule out any Pomeranchek instabilities.
		For both attractive and repulsive interactions a Local Fermi Liquid is robust against instabilities towards ferromagnetism and phase separation.
