About this Item

First Edition. xii, 110 pp; 5 figs. Original cloth. Signature on front pastedown, else Very Good+, in very good+ dust jacket (unclipped). Silliman Lectures. 'Fermi himself had concluded, at the end of the war, that nuclear physics was reaching a stage of maturity and that the future fundamental developments would be in the study of elementary particles. He thus prepared himself for this new field by learning as much as possible of the theory and by fostering the building of suitable accelerators with which to perform experiments. We have a hint of his effort to assimilate the theory in his Silliman Lectures . . . which were published as Elementary Particles' (D. S. B. IV: 582). Enrico Fermi: Nobel Prize, Physics, 1938, 'for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow electrons.'
