Beschreibung
Eugene Wigner is one of the very few scientists that may
safely be describedas creators of 20th-century physics.
This volume of his Collected Works is devoted to his
contributions to nuclear energy. In his Introduction and
Annotations A.M. Weinberg surveys Wigner's contributions to
nuclear-reaction physics and nuclear engineering, at the
same time giving a glimpse of the early history of
nuclear-reactor technology. Wigner himself gave a lively and
critical account, which is published in this volume for the
first time. Furthermore the book contains forty-two reports
and memoranda from 1941 to 1945 and twelve of Wigner's many
patents relating to nuclear energy.
Eugene Wigner is one of the very few scientists that may be safely described as creators of 20th-century physics. Less well known to the public are his groundbreaking contributions to nuclear energy. In this book, Volume V of his Collected Works, A.M. Weinberg presents 42 reports and 12 of Wigner's many patents in nuclear engineering. For the first time Wigner's own account of his participation in early nuclear technology is published. This "Memoir" together with A.M. Weinberg's beautiful annotations will be of great interest to a general audience.
