"Robert Vivian Pound was a Canadian-American physicist who helped discover nuclear magnetic… resonance and who devised the famous Pound Rebka experiment supporting general relativity. He became a tenured professor of physics at Harvard without ever having received a graduate degree. --Wikipedia He was an excellent theorist, but his role was as a designer and builder, said Peter Galison, a Harvard professor of physics and the history of science. He invented everything himself. It was Pound who made the thing work. His best-known contribution came in 1959, when, with his student Glen Rebka, he showed that gravity can change the frequency of light. The effect, which had gone unmeasured after decades of astronomical observations, had been predicted by Einstein s theory of general relativity, which explains how gravity can warp space and time."--NYT obituary for Pound, (2010)[++} AND: "After the discovery in 1958 of recoil free absorption of gamma rays in iridium by Rudolf Mössbauer there was much interest in performing experiments with different isomers. Attention focused on Fe57, with the expectation that an experiment to detect the effect of gravity on gamma radiation, as predicted by Einstein in 1911, could be carried out. Several groups made efforts to observe the resonance in Fe57, and once this was accomplished there was an explosion of experiments that led to the observation and application of nuclear hyperfine magnetic and quadrupole splittings and the chemical isomer shift. In this Letter Pound and Rebka describe the results of their experiment, which was the most definitive of the efforts to observe gravitational effects. They had to account for many possible differences between the source and the absorber that could mask the gravitational shift of the frequency, and the results were in agreement with Einstein s prediction."--PRL, 50 Years of PRL Milestones (online APS) AND ALSO, the Nambu: Yoichiro Nambu, "Axial Vector Current Conservation in Weak Interactions", in the same issue, p 380. "Forty-eight years after the publication of this Letter the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Yoichiro Nambu for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics . Also mentioned in the award were two articles in Physical Review."--PRL Letters 50 Years of Milestones.

Original gray printed wrappers. / Nambu was a Japanese-American physicist, known for his contributions to the field of theoretical physics. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2008 for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics. He also received a number of other prizes in physics. He spent most of his career at the University of Chicago. "Nambu was one of the great theoretical physicists of the latter half of the 20th century. Much of the current theory of elementary particles revolves around seminal contributions by Nambu," said Peter Freund, professor emeritus in physics at University of Chicago.

Contact seller5-star seller1st Edition. Full volume with original wrappers bound in. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF WEBER'S INVENTION OF THE FIRST GRAVITATIONAL WAVES DETECTOR. Hamiltonian formulation of the equations of general relativity now known as ADM formalism. WEBER: "The detection of gravitational waves is sometimes described as the Holy Grail… of Modern Physics" (Blair, Advances Gravitational Wave Detectors, xvi). Gravitational waves, or ripples in the fabric of spacetime, were first predicted by Einstein's 1916 general theory of relativity. In February 2016, the September 2015 detection of gravitational waves, waves first predicted by Einstein over a hundred years ago, was announced. "The saga of gravitational wave detection goes back a long way: Einstein believed they existed but thought they were not physically detectable. Eddington queried their existence: he suggested that â??they travel at the speed of thought'. But in the 1950's Pirani, Feynman, Bondi and later Isaacson proved their physical reality, and in 1960 Joseph Weber began to develop his famous resonant mass detectors. (Blair, Advances Gravitational Wave Detectors, xvi). Weber's "famous resonant mass detector" "consisted of large vibration-isolated aluminium cylinders constructed with piezoelectric crystals glued on the surface near to the center. These crystals are able to develop a large voltage when they undergo deformation. A low noise amplifier and lock-in amplifier allowed detection of the energy of the fundamental longitudinal resonance of the bar. A gravitational wave applies a time-varying quadrupole deformation and does mechanical work on the fundamental acoustic modes of the test mass. "The absorption cross-section of the mechanical resonator to gravitational waves depends on its mass and sound velocity and is highest at the fundamental resonant frequency. The latter is linked to sound velocity and the resonator's length, since the length must be half an acoustic wavelength at the fundamental longitudinal resonance. Weber chose aluminum because of its high sound velocity, and availability in large pieces, and because it has quite low acoustic losses" (Blair ibid, 61). NAMBU: In this paper, Nambu provides an "essential aid to understanding hidden symmetry in quantum field theory [with his] remarkable insight that the vacuum state of a quantum field theory is analogous to the ground state of an interacting many-body system. It is the state of lowest energy - the equilibrium state, given the kinetic and potential energies as specified in the Hamiltonian" (Aitchison, Gauge Theories, 199). Nambu is suggesting "that some massless particles transform themselves into massive particles as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking at low energies" (Wenner). In 2008 Nambu won the Nobel Prize for his work on this subject; specifically, "for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics" (NPC). ARNOWITT: One of a series of papers in which Misner, Deser, and Arnowit formulated a Hamiltonian formulation of the equations of general relativity that are more easily quantized than Einstein's original equations. A Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity that plays an important role in canonical quantum gravity and numerical relativity, their set of equations is now called the ADM formalism. CONDITION & DETAILS: Complete. Volume 117, January to March 1960. Original wrappers bound. Handsome (oddly enough) pictorial bookplate on front pastedown and a quite light stamp on each front wrap.
