Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Jayme Tiomno (1920-2011) was one of the most influential Brazilian physicists of the 20thcentury, interacting with many of the renowned physicists of his time, including John Wheelerand Richard Feynman, Eugene Wigner, Chen Ning Yang, David Bohm, Murray Gell-Mann, RemoRuffini, Abdus Salam, and many others.This biography tells the sometimes romantic, often discouraging but finally optimistic story ofa dedicated scientist and educator from a developing country who made importantcontributions to particle physics, gravitation, cosmology and field theory, and to theadvancement of science and of scientific education, in many institutions in Brazil andelsewhere. Drawing on unpublished documents from archives in Brazil and the US as well asprivate sources, the book traces Tiomno's long life, following his role in the establishment ofvarious research facilities and his tribulations during the Brazilian military dictatorship. Itpresents a story of progress and setbacks in advancing science in Brazil and beyond, and ofthe persistence and dedication of a talented physicist who spent his life in search of scientifictruth.

Charge-Exchange Reaction of the -Meson with the Nucleus in Reviews of Modern Physics 21 No. 1, January-March 1949, pp. 153-165
Published by American Physical Society, Lancaster, 1949
First Edition
1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF TIOMNO & WHEELER'S NOTABLE "SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF THE STRENGTHS OF THE THREE TYPES OF BETA DECAY AND [PROPOSAL] THAT A UNIVERSAL WEAK FORCE GOVERNED ALL THREE" (History of Physics: The Wenner Collection). Apart from Fermi's, this was the first hint of a theory of weak interaction. Jayme Tiomno (1920-2011) and John Archibald Wheeler's (1911-2008) paper "examined the relationship of the varied weak processes both with and without the mediation of the strong pion-nucleon interaction" (Marshak, Conceptual Foundations of Modern Particle Physics, 92). Tiomno and Wheeler here prove that "there exist other reactions in nature in addition to Beta decay that have the same coupling strength and similar characteristics and are merely two different manifestations of a general Fermi interaction" (Wheeler and Tiomno, 49). In 1896 Henri Becquerel discovered radioactive emissions; though not identified as such, this was the first indication of the weak interaction. In 1934, Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) provided the first theoretical explanation of beta decay through a mechanism called the "Fermi interaction" or "Fermi coupling," incorporating Pauli's "neutron" and coining the name "neutrino" for that particle. Fermi's theory of the weak interaction was incomplete, but inspired work that led to more complete theories" - the work of Tiomno and Wheeler being among the most important (ibid). CONDITION & DETAILS: Original wraps. Lancaster: American Physical Society. Volume 21, Number 1, January, 1949. (10.5 x 8 inches; 263 x 200mm). This is not an ex-libris copy; two ownership stamps of the physicist William Primak on the front wrap. Very slight wear at the edges of the wraps. Near fine condition inside and out.
