Nuclear sizes and density distributions Available to Purchase

In recent years a large number of conferences some‐what vaguely devoted to nuclear structure have been held both within and without the United States. While conferences, especially those abroad, are more than welcome, quite often such conferences tend to be too diffuse in their objective and more or less repetitive in their subject matter. The International Conference on Nuclear Sizes and Density Distributions held at Stanford University, Stanford, Calif., on December 17, 18, and 19 was, by definition, above this criticism. It concerned itself with a topic which had never before been the exclusive subject of any conference, and the manner in which it was organized by Dr. Hofstadter and his colleagues on the steering committee left no room for vagueness or confusion.
