‎First edition of Fermi's seminal and exceedingly important paper on beta-decay. In one stroke, Fermi had solved the major problem of beta decay: How do electrons come out of the nucleus if there are non to begin with? In the paper he coined the term neutrino and his groundbreaking work awarded him the Nobel Prize in physics in 1938.How pioneering and daring Fermi's theory was became clear when he first submitted his paper to the prestigious journal Nature. The journal's editor turned it down because ""it contained speculations which were too remote from reality"", consequently it became published in Zeitschrift für Physik. Eventually six years later, in 1939, Nature published Fermi's paper.In late 1933 Fermi wrote his famous article offering an elegant solution to a well know problem: Fermi proposed an entire new force of nature, the weak force. ""This new force, together with gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong interaction which binds the particles of the nucleus, constitutes the family of forces presently known in physics. The should account for the whole universe. Weak interactions [forces] occur between all particles and are thus unlike electromagnetism or strong interactions, which are restricted to certain particles. The first manifestation of the weak interaction to be treated in detail was the beta decay."" (DSB, IV, p. 579b).The ""canonical formalism of Heisenberg and Pauli gave rise, in the thirties and forties, to many applications of which the most important may be mentioned here: 1934 Enrico Fermi gave the formal explanation of beta-radioactivity of atomic nuclei by making use of the hypothesis formulated by Pauli in 1930 which postulated the existence."" (Enz, Charles. Of Matter And Spirit, 2009, p. 167).Pauli had named his proposed light particle a neutron. James Chadwick had named his much more massive nuclear particle a neutron as well which left the two particles with the same name. Fermi therefore, to solve the confusion, coined the term neutrino (Italian diminutive of neutron). Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, Along with Oppenheimer he is frequently referred to as ""the father of the atomic bomb"".‎

‎Eine statistische Methode zur Bestimmung einiger Eigenschaften des Atoms und ihre Anwendung auf die Theorie des periodischen Systems der Elemente. Mit 1 Abbindung.‎

‎Berlin, Julius Springer, 1928. 8vo. Bound in half cloth with marbled boards and gilt lettering to spine. In ""Zeitschrift für Physik, 48. Band, 1948."" Library stamp to front free end paper. A very nice and clean copy. [Fermi:] Pp. 73-79. [Entire issue: VIII, 891 pp.].‎

‎First printing of Fermi's paper on the statistical method for the determination of properties of the atom. ""During the years 1926-1932 Fermi and his associates did first-class but conventional theoretical physics, within the pattern laid down by the physicists of northern Europe. These were the concluding years of the theory of atomic structure"" with the invention of wave mechanics and the relativistic explanation of the electrons' intrinsic angular momentum, the theory as we know it today was completed, and Fermi helped complete the picture. He applied his degenerate gas theory to the electrons in atomic structure, producing a statistical atomic model [In the present paper]"". (Allison , Enrico Fermi - A Biographical Memoir, 1957, P. 127). Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, Along with Oppenheimer he is frequently referred to as ""the father of the atomic bomb"". The volume contain the following paper of interest: NEUMANN, J. V. Einige Bemerkungen zur Diracschen Theorie des Drehelektrons. Pp. 868-81.And many other. ‎

‎Are Mesons Elementary Particles? - [ARE MESONS ELEMENTARY PARTICLES?]‎

‎Lancaster, American Institute of Physics, 1949 Lex8vo. Volume 76, December 15, No. 12, 1949 of ""The Physical Review"", Second Series. In the original printed blue wrappers. Minor browning to extremities and slight wear to spine. Internally fine and clean. Pp. 1739-1743. [Entire issue: Pp. 1739-1934, iii-xv].‎

‎First edition of Fermi and Yang's important paper in which they discusses whether Mesons, subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark, are elementary particles. ""[The present paper] certainly touches very fundamental and deep questions. In it they develop the idea that a meson might be a tightly bound combination of a nucleon and an antinucleon. [...] This early incomplete attempt has left a trace in particle physics, and its fundamental ideas echo in later work."" (Segrè, Emilio. Enrico Fermi, Physicist, 1970, p. 170).Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, Along with Oppenheimer he is frequently referred to as ""the father of the atomic bomb"". Yang received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for his work on parity nonconservation of weak interaction. When the present paper was written Yang functioned as Fermi's assistant.‎

She was the wife of Nobel Prize physicist Enrico Fermi. - Laura Capon was born in Rome in 1907. Capon met Enrico Fermi while she was a student in general science at the University of Rome. The couple married in 1928. They had two children: a daughter, Nella (19311995), and a son, Giulio (19361997), named after Enrico's older brother, who had died in 1915. In 1936 Laura joined Ginestra Amaldi, wife of Edoardo Amaldi, to write a book relating alchemy and the nuclear transmutation performed by their mates. In 1938, the Fermis emigrated to the United States to escape the anti-Jewish laws of the Fascist government of Benito Mussolini; Laura was Jewish. Though Fermi's prestige and membership in the Royal Academy of Italy could have mitigated the impact of the laws, they chose to leave instead. They traveled to Stockholm to receive Fermi's Nobel prize, and left from Stockholm for the United States, where Fermi had accepted a position at Columbia University. They were naturalized as Americans in 1944. In 1954 Laura resumed writing. Her book Atoms in the Family, about her life with Enrico, appeared shortly before he died of stomach cancer.
