摘要:

During the two weeks of June 11 to 23, this summer, a conference was held in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss present and future problems in the building of high‐energy accelerators, instruments for using them, and the results obtained or to be expected from them. The three to four hundred physicists present represented more than twenty countries, ranging alphabetically from Australia to Yugoslavia, with the largest delegations, of over 50 each, from the United States and the Soviet Union. Hosts for the conference were the members of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research): the organization, established by 12 Western European countries, that is building a laboratory for research in nuclear physics located just outside the city of Geneva.

摘要:

TheReviews of Modern Physicsstarted as Physical Review Supplement in July, 1929. It has developed, in the 27 years since its foundation, into one of the most important sources of information for physicists. The need for a review journal which summarizes recent progress and trends in certain parts of physics, for the benefit of those whose principal interest and preoccupation is in other fields, must have been evident to its first editorial board which, included John T. Tate, A. H. Compton, K. T. Compton, K. K. Darrow, E. C. Kemble, C. E. Mendenhall, and D. L. Webster. Today, the unprecedented growth of the volume of publications renders such a journal a necessity. Without journals such as theRMP, our special interests would make our knowledge of the various branches of physics even more oppressively narrow than most of us feel it already is. This writer, for one, derives practically all his acquaintance with radio‐astronomy, with the theories of earth magnetism, with magneto‐hydrodynamics, from articles in theReviews of Modern Physics, and he suspects that the majority of his colleagues could present a similar list.
