I believe the constant is correct as written. See any introductory quantum mechanics textbook. I just checked Liboff, myself, p.739. --Jacobjon 19:19, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Is the constant given correct? Isn't it 2x(pi)/h not 2x(pi)/H-bar? I.E. it should be equal to 1/h-bar

I've never heard of Fermi's silver rule, so I checked it out and Google says that it is not a widespread term, so I've removed that see also. --Laura Scudder | Talk 05:59, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I think that this is more often seen capitalized because it's namesake the Golden Rule is also. — Laura Scudder ☎ 02:01, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

"Fermi himself called it "Golden Rule No. 2." What did he call Golden Rule No. 1? 81.110.14.145 09:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

i believe this article could greatly benefit from information on where FGR is used, e.g decay rates for radioactive nuclei, gamma emmision for excited states etc, prehaps with a worked example, unfortuantely im not the one to do this 193.60.83.241 (talk) 10:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
