On the Scattering of [gamma] Rays by Nuclei; NBS Technical Note 83

Originally published in Italian in 1935, this book is a classic of nuclear physics.

In this concise yet accessible volume, Fano presents his theoretical approach alongside experimental results. This edition, translated by G. Bernardini and R.H. Ritchie, includes a new foreword by eminent physicist Sidney D. Drell.
