DEF

a fundamental interaction experienced by elementary particles that is responsible for some particle decay processes, for nuclear beta decay, and for emission and absorption of neutrinos.

CONT

Aux deux champs fondamentaux responsables [des phénomènes de la gravitation et de l'électromagnétisme] s'en ajoutent en réalité deux autres, apparus avec la physique nucléaire [...]: ce sont le champ des interactions "fortes" (ou nucléaires) [...], et le champ des interactions "faibles", qui se manifeste dans la radioactivité [bêta] des noyaux et dans la plupart des désintégrations des particules élémentaires.
