- Title
When Energy Conservation Seems to Fail: The Prediction of the Neutrino.
- Authors
Guerra, Francesco; Leone, Matteo; Robotti, Nadia
- Abstract
A historical case study concerning the serious doubts that arose in early 1930s about the validity of the law of energy conservation in nuclear disintegrations, and the hypothesis of neutrino, will be closely analyzed with the goal of promoting understanding of the nature of science. This work is based upon primary archival and printed sources, with a particular focus on the proceedings of the first International Conference of Nuclear Physics which was held in Rome on October 1931.
