PROBABILITY OF A MANY-PARTICLE SYSTEM INTRODUCED

PAULI, W.

Über gasentartung und paramagnetismus.

Berlin, Julius Springer, 1927. 8vo. Bound in contemporary half cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In "Zeitschrift für Physik", Bd. 41. Entire issue offered. Pp. 81-102. [Entire volume: VIII, 934 pp.].

First appearance of this important paper in which Pauli (in a footnote) introduced for the first time the probability for a many-particle system with coordinates.

The following paper is included in volume:
LAUE, Max von & Lise MEITNER: "Die berechnung der reichweitestreuung aus Wilson-Aufnahmen." Here Meitner and von Laue report their inconclusive efforts to test a theoretical formula of Bohr's that related statistical variations in range to the mechanism by which alpha particles lost energy to the atoms they encountered.
