Particle identity in quantum mechanics makes it impossible to test the Pauli exclusion principle by looking for "forbidden" x rays or $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ rays. Such experiments do, however, test particle stability. Evidence for the indistinguishability of electrons and nucleons is discussed.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Particle identity and the Pauli exclusion principle, particle stability.
