could write relativistic quantum equations only in the

Majorana had quite a different belief (see several
works carried out in the Quaderni), and he began
constructing suitable quantum-relativistic equations
for higher spin values (one, three-halves, etc.), even
devising a general method for writing the equation for
a generic spin-value. Still, he did not publish
anything, until he discovered that one could write a
single equation to cover an infinite series of cases,
that is, a whole, infinite family of particles of
arbitrary spin: this was finally reported in paper 7
[this paper]. In order to implement his programme with
these `infinite components' equations, Majorana
invented a technique for the representation of a group
several years before Eugene Wigner did. Remarkably,
Majorana obtained the simplest infinite-dimensional
unitary representations of the Lorentz group that were
re-discovered by Wigner in his 1939 and 1948 works.''

Wolfgang Pauli and Fermi to explain puzzling features
of radioactive beta decay, could be such a particle.
This would make the neutrino unique among the
elementary particles and, moreover, enable it to have
mass. Today many experiments are still devoted to
detect these peculiar properties, which include the
phenomenon of neutrino oscillations: we have not yet
succeeded to find a definite answer to Majorana's
proposal.''",

application for a professorship, which he was granted
in October 1937 at the University of Naples by a
committee consisting of Enrico Fermi, O. Lazzarino,
Enrico Persico, G. Polvani, and A. Carelli. The chair
was specially created for Majorana, so that the
remaining three candidates could also be appointed:
Gian Carlo Wick to Palermo (later to Padova in 1938,
and to Rome in 1940), Giulio Racah to Pisa (dismissed
in 1938 because he was Jewish --- he then moved to the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem), and to the son of
Senator Giovanni Gentile, Giovannino Gentile, Jr. (to
Milan). Sadly, Gentile died in Milan in 1942 of an

Aufbauprinzip [\cite{Bohr:1921:ASb}??], in which he
explained the periodic system of elements as an effect
of electronic shell structure. Everybody who teaches
this wonderful triumph of quantum theory uses the Pauli
principle to explain the way in which the electron
shells are filled when going from one atom to the next
one with an additional electron. However, when Bohr
published his paper on the periodic system, the
exclusion principle was not yet known! It was a
testimony to Bohr's unfailing intuition that he
nevertheless got the right results. Browsing through
Pauli's copy of that paper, \ldots{}, my attention was
caught by a remark that Pauli had written in the margin
in big letters: `How do you know this? You only get it
from the very spectra you want to explain!' Three heavy
exclamation marks followed.''",

the detection and measurement of neutrino properties
have tested technology to its limits, requiring huge
detectors, often located deep in mines, under mountains
or even under the sea. As part of the story she
explains without the use of mathematics how our
understanding of the structure of matter and the forces
that hold it together have come from work with
neutrinos, and how these apparently insignificant
particles hold the key to our understanding of the
beginning and the end of the Universe.'' ``This
fascinating, well written and highly illustrated book

twentieth century physics are portrayed through the
recollections and historiographical works of one of the
most prominent figures of European science. A former
student of Enrico Fermi, and a leading personality of
physical research and science policy in post-war Italy,
Edoardo Amaldi devoted part of his career to
documenting, both as witness and as historian, some
significant moments of twentieth century science. The
focus of the book is on the European scene, ranging
from nuclear research in Rome in the 1930s to particle
physics at CERN, and includes biographies of physicists
such as Ettore Majorana, Bruno Touschek and Fritz
Houtermans.",

Well, I guess we talked a little longer, about a half
an hour or so. But Majorana at that time did not speak
either German or English. But Segr{\'e} was present as

happy. He said he had too much work with students. But
then that was his own fault, in the sense that he was
willing to accept far too many PhD students. He didn't
need to. There were other professors. So we certainly
lost one of the great theoretical physicists in the
country, and our department never was the same after
that.''",

theoretical physicist of this century (Enrico Fermi
compared him to Galilei and Newton), disappeared
mysteriously from Naples in 1938, when he was 31. In
the first part of this work we outline his scientific
personality (on the basis of letters, documents,
testimonies collected by us in about twenty years) and
the significance of some parts of his publications. In
the second part of this paper we set forth some brief
information about the unpublished scientific
manuscripts left by E. Majorana and known to us till
this moment (most of which are deposited at the `Domus
Galilaeana' in Pisa, Italy), and present a preliminary
Catalogue of them prepared in collaboration with M.
Baldo and R. Mignani. [The present material is mainly
taken from our book \booktitle{Il Caso Majorana:
Epistolario, Documenti, Testimonianze} (Mondadori,
Milan, 1987, 1991; Di Renzo, Rome, 2000--2008): We
address to such a book (c/o \url{www.direnzo.it},
`Arcobaleno' series) all the readers interested in more
and deeper information; as well as, for more technical
topics, to the subsequent volumes reproducing e.g. part
of the scientific manuscripts left unpublished by

argues that science is a reasonable enterprise that
produces knowledge of the physical world based on valid
experimental evidence and critical discussion. He does
this by looking at the history of the neutrino, which
he traces from the discovery of radioactivity to recent
experiments on neutrino oscillations. He argues that
this history has given us good reason to believe in the
existence of the neutrino, a particle that interacts so
weakly with matter that its interaction length is
measured in light years of lead. If science can provide
evidence for the reality of such an elusive particle
then we can reasonably conclude that it provides us
with knowledge.",

abstract = "The coming into light of the neutron is discussed. It
is remarked that some experiments had already suggested
that the penetrating radiation from beryllium had an
electromagnetic component, before Joliot-Curies
suggested the beryllium radiation consisted of
high-energy gamma rays. Joliot-Curies' idea also relied
on the many Compton electron tracks in the Wilson
chamber. In 1920, both Harkins and Rutherford foresaw
the existence of a particle of mass 1 and zero charge,
consisting of one proton and one electron, though they
did not give any name to it. In 1932, the neutron was
finally observed by Chadwick. However, the question
whether considering the neutron as a fundamental or a
compound particle still bothered the physicists and
Chadwick himself for more than one year. Instead, as
soon as Majorana heard about Joliot-Curies' experiments
he guessed the existence of a ``neutral proton.'' In
1933 he published some ``corrections'' to Heisenberg's
theory. A very simple analysis shows that Heisenberg's
original version of exchange interactions and
Majorana's version clearly reflect, respectively, that
the nucleus contained ``electrons'' and that the
nucleus was free from electrons. The emission of
electrons from the nucleus still needed to be accounted
for. Fermi's theory of beta-decay settled the question.
Thanks to exchange interactions and beta-decay theory,
quantum mechanics could now be applied to the nucleus,
which could be considered free from electrons. Also the
neutron could be considered free from electrons, and
treated as a fundamental particle.",

communication at the general meeting of the Italian
Physical Society, held in Rome, on December 29th, 1928,
regularly published on Nuovo Cimento. This
communication did not receive any mention, neither in
the numerous publications of Fermi and his associates
on the subject, nor in the further reconstructions of
the life and activity of Ettore Majorana. The Majorana
proposal was not accepted by Enrico Fermi for years,
and forgotten. However, it was finally exploited,
without reference, in the 1934 conclusive paper by
Fermi and Amaldi on the statistical model for atoms. We
analyze the improved model proposed by Majorana, with
the help of unpublished notes, kept in the Majorana
Archives in Pisa. Moreover, we trace the path leading
Fermi to the eventual late acceptance of Majorana
improvement, also with the help of the material in
Fermi Archives in Pisa. The conclusion is that Ettore
Majorana played an effective leadership in Rome for the
very conceptual formulation of the statistical model
for atoms.",

Physics at the Institute of Physics in Rome. The
following year Edoardo Amaldi, Emilio Segr{\'e} and

lectures given in 1927--28, whose content may be easily
reconstructed, probably had a deep impact in forming
such young students, who participated actively in the
Physics researches carried on in Rome soon after. In
this perspective, the case of Ettore Majorana is
certainly the most important one: as a lecturer, in
1933--36 he planned to give three advanced Physics
courses in Rome, before obtaining his full
professorship in Theoretical Physics `for high and
well-deserved repute' in 1937. From the analysis of the
lectures he delivered in Naples in 1938, we can
conclude that, in part, Majorana referred to the Fermi
lectures he followed as a student, but he also
introduced some advanced (for that time) topics,
rendering his course a very modern one. Much of these
frontier topics were already cited in the programmes of
the mentioned three courses he presented few years
earlier.",

scientific evidence of the latter one. All recognized
double negated sentences inside the text of each paper
are listed; the mere sequence of such sentences giving
the logical thread of Majorana's arguing. This one is
recognized to be of the Lagrangian kind, which mixes
logical arguing and mathematical calculation; i.e., the
author puts a fundamental problem which is solved by
anticipating the mathematical hypothesis able to solve
it, and then by drawing from this hypothesis the
mathematical consequences in order to reach to desired
result. Furthermore the rhetoric of presentation used
by Majorana results to be a juridical one, owing to his
style of presenting the laws to which an ideal

Majorana, one of the major Italian physicists of all
times. In this note we briefly sketch a few
biographical details about Ettore Majorana and
introduce and discuss the main points of Majorana's
10th article. In his article Majorana explicitly
considers quantum mechanics as an irreducible
statistical theory because the theory is not able to
describe the time evolution of a single particle or
atom in a precise environment at a deterministic level.
This lack of determinism at the level of an elementary
physical system motivated him to suggest a formal
analogy between statistical laws observed in physics
and in the social sciences. We hope the occasion of the
centenary of the birth of Ettore Majorana will be
useful to remember and to reconsider not only his
exceptional achievements in theoretical physics but
also his fresh and original views on the role of
statistical laws in physics and in other disciplines
such as the social sciences.",

the merit of these authors. Majorana never published
this work, he did not seem to take it very seriously,

I, until I saw the paper by Pauli and Weisskopf.''",

abstract = "Ettore Majorana was a member of Enrico Fermi's
research group in Rome, Italy. Fermi did regard
Majorana as much brighter than himself as far as
theoretical physics was concerned (more information can
be found particularly in the arXives' e-print
physics/9810023, in Italian, and refs therein, and also
in the recent multilanguage arXiv:0708.2855v1
[physics.hist-ph]). In 1937 Majorana participated in
the national Italian competition, for a chair in
theoretical physics, requested by Emilio Segr{\`e} at
that time at Palermo University: Other competitors
being G. C. Wick, G. Racah, and G. Gentile Jr. After a
proposal of the judging Commette, chaired by E. Fermi,
Majorana got a full-professorship at Naples University,
for exceptional scientific merits, outside the
competition normal procedures. In this e-print we make
known the notes prepared by Majorana for his Inaugural
Lecture (and discovered long ago, in 1973, by one of
the present editors (ER)),together with some comments
of ours: everything being both in English (first
article) and in Italian (second article, with a short
Bibliography at its end). The present articles have
been prepared on the occasion of the Centenary (2006)
of Majorana's birth. The preliminary notes for his
Inaugural Lecture reveal Majorana's interest not only
for scientific research, but also for the best
didactical methods to be followed in order to teach
classical and quantum physics in the most effective way
(while his approach to Special Relativity is known to
us from his lecture notes, published elsewhere). P.S.:

abstract = "In Europe (e.g., in Italy), and in the States, the
opinion is widely spreading that the negative
consequences of modern progress are the fault of
`Science'. A lively debate on this topic took place
among the famous writer Leonardo Sciascia and Italian
physicists like Edoardo Amaldi and Emilio Segr{\`e},
when Sciascia wrote his known book about the
disappearance of Ettore Majorana, a book that presented
Majorana (a very reserved theoretical physicist) as an
example of the scientist that keeps his discoveries
secret when afraid of possible evil applications. We
wish to contribute now to such a question, since many
special meetings did recently return to it, while
celebrating the centenary of Majorana's birth (2006),
or 30 years (2005) from Sciascia's book publication. It
appeared natural to us to start with the figure of
Einstein, who, even if extremely peaceable, supported
the atomic bomb construction by his letter to Roosvelt.
We discuss first the significance of part of Einstein's
scientific work (which flourished in particular one
century ago): We seize this opportunity for presenting
a derivation of the `twins paradox', so simple that it
has been taught to Senior High School last-year
students or University undergraduate students; all the
present work, more in general, is addressed mainly to
them. In the second part of this paper, we analyse the
general meaning of Einstein's contributions to
philosophy and pedagogy. The third part is entirely
devoted to our main subject, i.e., to discussing the
`Responsibility of the Intellectuals'. The reader
interested chiefly in this last part, can find it
re-expounded in a self-contained way in the Appendix.

been re-published, in Italian, till the beginning of
2006, when we made known some abridgements of it by
Italian newspapers and by the journal \booktitle{Fisica
in Medicina}. We don't know when was it written:
perhaps in 1930. However, its central theme was still
alive in Majorana's mind in 1934: in fact, on July 27,
1934, he will write to G. Gentile Jr. to expect that $
\ll $ soon it will be generally understood that science
ceased to be a justification for the vulgar
materialism$ \gg $. Here, in Part I, we present a
suitable reduction, edited by us, of Majorana's
article; while in Part II we add a complete

disintegration of nuclei by bombardment with $ \alpha

evidences that motivated it. By following the quantum
dynamics of a state resulting from the superposition of
a discrete state with a continuum one, whose
interaction is described by a given potential term,
Majorana obtained (among the other predictions) the
explicit expression for the integrated cross section of
the nuclear process, which is the directly measurable
quantity of interest in the experiments. Although this
is the first application of the concept of
quasi-stationary states to a Nuclear Physics problem,
it seems also that the unpublished Majorana work
anticipates by several years the related seminal paper
by Fano on Atomic Physics.",

the birth of Ettore Majorana, a theoretical physicist
of outstanding value. His career was brief and
irregular but very intense, and he disappeared in March
1938 in circumstances that still are not completely
clear. This volume is a contribution to a better
understanding of the scientific, academic and human
personality of Ettore Majorana, beyond the layers of
legendary aspects which have accumulated over the
years. Based on primary sources alone --- scientific
literature of the period and numerous archival
documents --- the figure of Ettore Majorana emerges in
a completely new light. The young scientist is
intensely involved in scientific research, completely
independent, always striving to offer innovative
contributions of the highest level according to the
most advanced international standards, and very
determined to make his results known by following a
shrewd publication strategy. He is profoundly
interested in his academic career, scrupulous with
institutional relationships, and attentive to his
students.\par
Moreover, his documented scholarly activity is much
wider than previously reported. This historical
analysis shows also that Majorana had a very important
role in orienting research in Rome, especially in the
sector of the statistical model of the atom and in
Nuclear Physics. It is also clear that there are
aspects of Ettore Majorana's life which transmit a
solid historical legacy from the cultural and human
points of view, besides the scientific legacy which is
universally recognized to him. A reproduction of
original documents completes the volume.",

introduction to the life and work of Ettore Majorana,
the brightest Italian theoretical physicist of the XX
century, regarded by Enrico Fermi as the best
theoretician of his time in the world. It consists of
ten smooth chapters, only few of them being moderately
technical, and of three Appendices: (i) about his
inaugural lecture on physics at the University of
Naples; (ii) about some notes of his, on the role of
the statistical laws in physics and in the social
sciences; and (iii) with a recapitulatory biographic
outline. The present material is mainly taken from our
previous book \booktitle{Il Caso Majorana: Epistolario,
Documenti, Testimonianze}, first published (1987, 1991)
by Mondadori, Milan, and recently (2000, 2002, 2008)
published by Di Renzo Editore, Rome. That book
presented practically all the serious documents
existing on Majorana's life & work [indeed, almost all
the biographical documents have been discovered or
collected, during a few decades, by the present author,
who was the first to publish them]. Actually, we might
address to such a book (c/o \url{www.direnzo.it},

mechanics to the spectroscopy of many-electron atoms,
Ettore Majorana in 1931 solved several outstanding
problems by developing the theory of autoionization.
Later literature makes only sporadic references to this
accomplishment. After reviewing his work in its
contemporary context, we describe subsequent
developments in understanding the spectra treated by
Majorana, and extensions of his theory to other areas
of physics. We find several puzzles concerning the
treatment of Majorana's work in the subsequent
literature and the way in which the modern theory of
autoionization was developed.",

Giorgio Parisi. We work in the frame of real replicas,

connected phase transitions. Our considerations can be
generalized to the more complicated models of mean
field spin glasses and neural networks. We report also
about a letter of Ettore Majorana, written in December
1937 to his uncle Dante, very interesting for its

Prize-winning physicist and one of the fathers of the
atomic age, Enrico Fermi. Enrico Fermi is
unquestionably the most famous scientist to come from
Italy since Galileo, so revered that he's known as The
Pope of Physics. A modest, unassuming man, Fermi was
nevertheless one of the most productive and creative
scientists of the twentieth century, one of the fathers
of the Atomic Bomb and a Nobel Prize winner whose
contributions to physics and nuclear technology live on
today, with the largest particle accelerator in the
United States and the nation's most significant science
and technology award both bearing his name. In this,
the first major biography of Fermi in English, Gino
Segre, professor of Physics and Astronomy at the
University of Pennsylvania, brings this scientific
visionary to life. An examination of the human dramas
that touched Fermi's life as well as a thrilling
history of scientific innovation in the twentieth
century --- including the birth of one of its most
controversial disciplines, nuclear physics --- this is
the comprehensive biography that Fermi deserves",

electromagnetic spins do not settle into order even at
absolute zero temperature{\textemdash}have long
captured the interest of physicists. A particularly
lofty goal is finding a material that can be described
by the so-called Kitaev spin model, a network of spins
on a honeycomb lattice that harbors Majorana fermions
as its excitations. Banerjee et al. present a
comprehensive inelastic neutron scattering study of
single crystals of the material -RuCl3, which has been
predicted to a host a Kitaev spin liquid. The unusual
dependence of the data on energy, momentum, and
temperature is consistent with the Kitaev
model.Science, this issue p. 1055The Kitaev quantum
spin liquid (KQSL) is an exotic emergent state of
matter exhibiting Majorana fermion and gauge flux
excitations. The magnetic insulator -RuCl3 is thought
to realize a proximate KQSL. We used neutron scattering
on single crystals of -RuCl3 to reconstruct dynamical
correlations in energy-momentum space. We discovered
highly unusual signals, including a column of
scattering over a large energy interval around the
Brillouin zone center, which is very stable with
temperature. This finding is consistent with scattering
from the Majorana excitations of a KQSL. Other, more
delicate experimental features can be transparently
associated with perturbations to an ideal model. Our
results encourage further study of this prototypical
material and may open a window into investigating
emergent magnetic Majorana fermions in correlated
materials.",

page 62 that it means Planck's constant $h$ divided by
$ 2 \pi $. On page 71, Dirac says: ``The object of the
present paper is to show that quantum mechanics does
not really preclude the existence of isolated magnetic
poles. On the contrary, the present formalism of
quantum mechanics, when developed naturally without the
imposition of arbitrary restrictions, leads inevitably
to wave equations whose only physical interpretation is
the motion of an electron in the field of a single
pole. This new development requires no change whatever
in the formalism when expressed in terms of abstract
symbols denoting states and observables, but is merely
a generalisation of the possibilities of representation
of these abstract symbols by wave functions and
matrices. Under these circumstances one would be
surprised if Nature had made no use of it.''.\par
This paper introduces on page 61 the term
``anti-electron'', for the positive hole predicted in
\cite{Dirac:1930:AEP}.",

theoretical physics experts. In fact, the contents
range from applied physics models, thorough fundamental
atomic physics, to advanced group theory. The Notes
have never been published and here they appear in the
same format as organized by Ettore Majorana. The style
is plain, proposed solutions to physics problems are
original. These notes are intended as a series of
fundamental physics themes treated by Ettore Majorana
during the first ``burning years'' of the Panisperna

abstract = "A century after his birth, Ettore Majorana is
rightfully considered one of the greatest physicists of
the first half of the last century. With this volume,
the Italian Physical Society presents a collection of
Ettore Majorana's scientific papers in the original
language and, for the first time --- with three
exceptions --- translated into English. Each paper is
then followed by a comment in English of an expert in
the scientific field.",
