Yoshio Nishina not only made a great contribution to the emergence
of a research network that produced two Nobel prize winners, but he
also raised the overall level of physics in Japan. Focusing on his
roles as researcher, teacher, and statesman of science, Yoshio
Nishina: Father of Modern Physics in Japan analyzes Nishina's
position in and his contributions to the Japanese physics
community. After a concise biographical introduction, the book
examines Nishina's family, his early studies, the creation of
RIKEN, and the greater Japanese physics community in the early
twentieth century. It then focuses on Nishina's work at the
Cavendish Laboratory and at the University of Gottingen as well as
his more fruitful research at Niels Bohr's Institute of Theoretical
Physics in Copenhagen. The book also describes the establishment of
the Nishina Laboratory at RIKEN, the collaboration between its
experimentalists and theoreticians, and the cosmic ray research of
its scientists. The last two chapters discuss Nishina's
controversial construction and operation of two cyclotrons at RIKEN
as well as his presidency at RIKEN after World War II. Navigating
Nishina's entire life through various perspectives, this
easy-to-read biography will help you become well acquainted with
this fascinating physicist.
