Physics Colloquium: Current Status of Theory of Cosmic Rays

OU1936-A2 (24 pages) Date: November 26, 1936

This lecture manuscript was written for the Physics Colloquium. Titled “Current Status of Theory of Cosmic Rays,” it is one of the rare documents in which Yukawa comprehensively summarized his explanation of the theory of cosmic rays. He utilized diagrams and tables of experimental data and observational data in order to explain the cosmic ray phenomenon. During his years at Osaka Imperial University, Yukawa devoted himself to the study of natural phenomena and construction of theories.
