Abstract

The physics of the atomic nucleus becomes a primary concern of physicists. One Russian and two Americans show how the recent quantum mechanics can explain an enigma in α-decay: the Geige-Nuttall law. A Frenchman discovers that α-particles emitted by radioactive substances do not all have the same velocity.
