“In the present⟳ paper we deal⟳ with the second order⟳ radiative correction to the beta disintegration of nucleon, assuming the Fermi's interaction between necleon and lepton fields, and show⟳ that there appears such an ultraviolet divergence as can not be removed by the procedure of renormalization of mass and coupling constant, so far as a single type⟳ of coupling is assumed for the decay Hamiltonian.”
