‎First printing of ""ENERGY PRODUCTION IN STARS"", Hans Bethe's seminal Nobel Prize winning paper on neucleosynthesis. It was the first time an astrophysical subject was recognized by the Nobel Committee. Bethe's work on nuclear reactions led him to discover the reactions that supply the energy in stars. In this paper, Bethe shows that ""the most important source of energy in ordinary stars is the reactions of carbon and nitrogen with protons"" (Bethe, Energy Production in Stars). Bethe began by analyzing the different possibilities for reactions by which hydrogen is fused into helium. He showed two processes to be the sources of energy generation capable of keeping stars hot. The first, the proton-proton chain, is the dominant energy source in stars with masses up to about the mass of the Sun. The second, the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle, is the most important in more massive stars. ""ON MASSIVE NEUTRON CORES"" and NEUTRON STARS AND THE TOLMAN-OPPENHEIMER-VOLKOV LIMIT, two landmark papers which ""for the first time laid a general relativistic theory of stellar structure"" (Pais, Subtle is the Lord), thereby proving Einstein wrong in his conclusion that no star could collapse indefinitely.In the paper they addressed the question that Landau's paper, and also Oppenheimer and Serber's, had failed to consider: what is the maximum mass for stable neutron-star? This paper applied Tolman's method to calculate the gravitational equilibrium of a neutron star and predict the conditions under which it will continue collapsing into a black hole (the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov Limit). The issue contain several other papers of interest: 1. Tolman, Richard. ""Static Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations for Spheres of Fluid"" - This paper developed a method for applying Einstein's field equations to static spheres of fluid in such a manner as to facilitate the development of exact solutions using known analytic functions);"" Jenkins and Segre's """"Quadratic Zeeman Effect"""" and """"Zeeman Effect of the Forbidden Lines of Potassium"""" .2. Gamow & Teller. """"On the Origin of Great Nebulae"""". 3. Seaborg & Segre. """"Nuclear Isomerism in Element 43"""" 4. Gentner & Segre. """"Appendix on the Calibration of the Ionization Chamber"""". 5. Bethe. """"On the Absence of Polarization in Electron Scattering"""" & """"Meson Theory of Nuclear Forces.""""‎

‎First printing of Bethe's much used paper which sums the research within Slow Alpha-Particles. In an interview Bethe was asked:""INTERVIEWER: It[The present paper] is certainly bringing every- thing up to date and making some corrections, and also it apparently is the first Reviews of Modern Physics paper since the three articles in the thirties. So it is significant in that double sense. I would like to ask if I am right in my interpretation of this kind of mediating service role, and whether you were conscious about playing that role, and what led up to this 1950 version of it?BETHE: I was very conscious of it and I think I had become even more conscious at Los Alamos where this was a very essential function to perform, to give something to the experimenters that was really useful and derived from the theory. I have felt that all the time. I felt also the obligation of keeping things somewhat organized in the scientific sense, that when people go off on tangents and do something that obviously is not very closely related to the subject, to reemphasize what is the important point in the subject. I think up to the middle of the fifties I was conscious of that role and to some extent was able to do so. Since then, I know I haven't, certainly not in particle physics."" (Interview with Hans A. Bethe by Charles Weiner at Cornell University, May 8, 1972).""Bethe was one of the great physicists of the twentieth century. After the advent of quantum mechanics, in two classic articles published in 1933 in the Handbuch der Physik he detailed the applications of the new quantum theory to atomic and solid state physics. After the discovery of the neutron in 1932 in a series of articles in the Reviews of Modern Physics, he did the same for nuclear physics. In 1938 he formulated the nuclear physics responsible for energy production in stars. During World War II he contributed importantly to the development of radar and of atomic weapons. Because of his involvement in making A- and H-bombs possible, he subsequently devoted considerable efforts in limiting further developments of atomic weaponry and bringing about international agreements for the reduction of extant nuclear weapons and the curtailment of their production and design. He made Cornell University, his base of operation from 1935 until his death, an outstanding center of theoretical physics and a model research community in all branches of physics."" (DSB).‎

‎First appearance of Bethe's important doctoral thesis on the theory electron diffraction by nickel crystals which remains of fundamental value in understanding observational data. ""Bethe obtained his doctorate-summa cum laude-in 1928 with a thesis that analyzed and explained the results that Clinton Joseph Davisson and Lester Germer had obtained in their experiments on electron diffraction by nickel crystals. When the de Broglie wave length of electrons is comparable to the lattice spacings of a crystal they diffract in a manner similar to x-rays. Bethe made use of the methods that von Laue and Ewald had formulated for x-ray diffraction by crystals and found that their results could readily and successfully be adapted to the electron case."" (DSB).""Bethe was one of the great physicists of the twentieth century. After the advent of quantum mechanics, in two classic articles published in 1933 in the Handbuch der Physik he detailed the applications of the new quantum theory to atomic and solid state physics.

‎Relativistic Equation for Bound-State Problems. - [THE BETHE-SALPETER EQUATION]‎

‎Lancaster, American Institute of Physics, 1951. Lex8vo. Volume 84, December 15, No. 6, 1951 of ""The Physical Review"", Second Series. Entire volume offered in the original printed blue wrappers. Previous owner's stamp to front wrapper. Minor wear to extremities and a bit of discolouring to spine and extremities. Front wrapper with light tie-markings after having been bundled and tied. Fine and clean. Pp. 1232-1242. [Entire issue: Pp. 1079-1286, iii-x].‎

‎First publication of the influential and groundbreaking description (the detailed description including the derivation) of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Due to its generality, it has been used in nearly all branches of theoretical physics and has been presented in many different forms. In general, the theory describes the bound states of a two-body quantum field theoretical system in a relativistically covariant formalism. In Early 1951, Bethe and Salpeter published a paper in which they introduced the concept of the Bethe-Salpeter equation but had not made the final calculations and derivations. This paper presents the theory including the derivation and is therefore known as the first documented publication of the theory. ‎

‎The Electromagnetic Shift of Energy Levels.‎

Internally fine and clean. Pp. 339-341. [Entire volume: Pp. 263-356].‎

‎First printing of Bethe's famous paper on electromagnetic shift of energy levels which gave the first indication of a possible way out of the unequivocally exposed discrepancies of Lamb shift and magnetic moments.Bethe completed the first non-relativistic computation of the shift of the lines of the hydrogen atom as measured by Lamb and Retherford. Despite the limitations of the computation, agreement was excellent. Based on Bethe's intuition and fundamental papers on the subject by Sin-Itiro Tomonaga Julian Schwinger Richard Feynman it was finally possible to get fully covariant formulations that were finite at any order in a perturbation series of quantum electrodynamics. ‎
