Yukawa and the Birth of Meson Theory: Fiftieth Anniversary for Nuclear Forces.
Spradley, Joseph L.
Physics Teacher, v23 n5 p283-89 May 1985
In 1935 physicist Hideki Yukawa proposed the meson theory of nuclear forces. Background, influences, and chronology of Yukawa's work are presented and discussed. Yukawa was supported in his meson idea by Japan's strong emphasis on intuitive and creative approaches which are also evident in subsequent developments in that country. (DH)
