This is a GOOD+ copy, with some bit of rubbing on the front wrapper. Also has a rubber stamp Property of/Physics Department.__+__ OFFERED WITH: Kusch, Polykarp and Henry M. Foley. On the Intrinsic Moment of the Electron, in The Physical Review, Second Series, Volume 73, number 4, 15 February 1948, pp 412. Original wrappers. GOOD ONLY copy, with some damp staining in the text.__+__ "The Nobel Prize in Physics 1955 was divided equally between Willis Eugene Lamb "for his discoveries concerning the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum" and Polykarp Kusch "for his precision determination of the magnetic moment of the electron."__+__ From Kusch's Nobel Prize (1955, physics) speech, "The magnetic moment of the electron Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1955": "I must tell you, and with considerable regret, that I am not a theoretical physicist. A penetrating analysis of the part that the discovery and meas- urement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron has played in the development of certain aspects of contemporary theoretical physics must be left to the group of men who have in recent years devised the theoretical structure of quantum electrodynamics. My role has been that of an exper- imental physicist who, by observation and measurement of the properties and operation of the physical world, supplies the data that may lead to the formulation of conceptual structures. The consistency of the consequences of a conceptual structure with the data of physical experiment determines the validity of that structure as a description of the physical universe. Our early predecessors observed Nature as she displayed herself to them. As know- ledge of the world increased, however, it was not sufficient to observe only the most apparent aspects of Nature to discover her more subtle properties; rather, it was necessary to interrogate Nature and often to compel Nature, by various devices, to yield an answer as to her functioning. It is precisely the role of the experimental physicist to arrange devices and procedures that will compel Nature to make a quantitative statement of her properties and behavior. It is in this spirit that I propose to discuss my participation in a sequence of earlier experiments that made possible the precision determination of the magnetic moment of the electron. I will then discuss the experiments them-selves which have yielded our present knowledge of the magnetic properties of the electron."__+__ "The Nobel Prize in Physics 1955 was divided equally between Willis Eugene Lamb "for his discoveries concerning the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum" and Polykarp Kusch "for his precision determination of the magnetic moment of the electron."__+__ This is referenced in Silvan S. Schweber, "QED and the Men who Made it.", 1994, page 700. Also referenced and reproduced in Henry Stroke's massively useful "The Physical Review, the first hundred years." NY, (1995). (The Maria Mayer paper is also reproduced in the Stoke book in full.).…

Shopbeschreibung

We have been in business since 1985--including a store in Georgetown, D.C. from 1985-2002--specializing in significant and hard-to-find works in modern (say, after 1850) physics, math, astronomy, and technology, and other bits and bobs. Shipping notice for overseas parcels: customs, VAT, and all other shipping fees and add-ons are the responsibility of the buyer.
