[14 offprints, 1 hand-out, including:] On the Interaction of Elementary Particles. III. Ser. B.

[Tokyo]:: Proceedings of the Physico-Mathematical Society of Japan, 1938., 1938. 14 offprints, 1 handout. Original wrappers. From the collection of Abraham Pais. Very good. BIOGRAPHY: Yukawa was a Japanese theoretical physicist, and the first Japanese Nobel Laureate. He spent most of his life teaching at Kyoto University. His 1935 paper, "On the Interaction of Elementary Particles," proposed a new field theory of nuclear forces and predicted the existence of mesons—it was this discovery which led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. / INVENTORY: 1.
