BROGLIE, Louis, Prince de. Autograph note signed ("Louis de Broglie") to an unnamed correspondent, 8 October 1947. 2 pages, oblong 12o .
Broglie writes to a colleague on the subject of a seminar he is to be giving: "[your information] will be very useful. Since the formula M-KM is neither Blackett's nor Mariani's, there is truly no need to devote a session to this question. In fact, as I told you, I find Mariani's theory contestable. As for the questions you are raising relating to the hydrogen spectrum, I think they are very important, and I'm putting them on the agenda for our upcoming meeting." PATRICK M. S. BLACKETT (1897-1974), to whom de Broglie refers in the note, won the 1948 Nobel Prize for physics for his improvement of the Wilson cloud chamber method and for his resulting discoveries in the field of nuclear physics and cosmic rays.
