[LOS ALAMOS SCIENTIFIC LABORATORIES]. "LA Report 24. Lecture Series on Nuclear Physics." Mimeographed typescript on rectos. [Los Alamos, 1943-44]. 4o. Loose sheets with hole punched in left margin, preserved in a modern binder and cloth folding case.
MIMEOGRAPHED TYPESCRIPT rare pre-publication version of 46 lectures on nuclear physics, delivered at Los Alamos between September 14, 1943 and January 29, 1944 by various members of the scientific team responsible for developing the atom bomb. The lectures are divided into six series: "Terminology," "Radioactivity," "Neutron Physics," "Two Body Problem," "The Statistical Theory of Nuclear Reactions," and "Diffusion Theory." Among the lecturers were Edwin M. McMillan, Emilio Segrè, Edward Teller, Felix Bloch, Victor Weisskopf and Robert F. Christy.
At the time these lectures were delivered they, like everything generated at Los Alamos, were classified information. They have no formal imprint and are identified on the front sheet for security reasons only as "LA report 24." Officially Los Alamos did not exist.
[With]: Lecture Series in Nuclear Physics (MDDC 1175). Washington, 1947. 4o. Original printed wrappers (minor wear to edges). Provenance: W.H. Arnold (signature on upper cover). First published edition of the above. (2)
