The Defining Years in Nuclear Physics: 1932–1960s

Part 1 From the discovery of the neutron to nuclear fission: the state of nuclear physics in 1931 discovery of the neutron discovery of the positron and artificial radioactivity radioactivity produced by neutrons discovery of fission nuclear forces. Part 2 Nuclear instruments: nuclear accelerators: gas counters the scintillation counter semiconductor counters beta-ray spectrometers gamma-decay internal conversion beta-decay. Part 3 Nuclear models: the nuclear shell model collective models individual-particle models. Part 4 Nuclear reactions: first experiments with the accelerated particles nucleon-nucleon scattering low-energy nuclear reactions
