Abstract

Dr. Darrow has suggested that a short introduction may enhance the usefulness of the more specialized papers to be presented to the Society by members of the old Theoretical Physics group of the Metallurgical Laboratory (Plutonium Project). Because the presentation of these papers will have to be very brief and because some of our collaborators could not present abstracts in time for the meetings, I was most happy to follow our Secretary’s invitation to summarize our work in general terms.

An address presented to the American Physical Society at the Chicago Meeting, June 22, 1946
