Ettore was the %%% fourth of five childen (he had two sisters, %%% Rosina the oldest, and Maria the youngest), %%% and two older brothers (Salvatore and %%% Luciano), and showed early signs of mental %%% calculating prowess. He was schooled in %%% Catania and from 1921, in Rome, graduating %%% from high school in 1923 with his `licenz %%% Liciale' diploma at the Liceo-Ginnasio %%% Statale ``Torquato Tasso''. He enrolled in %%% an engineering degree program at the %%% University of Rome ``La Sapienza'', but in %%% the summer of 1927, on the advice of his %%% friends Franco Rassetti (1901--2001) and %%% Emilio Segre (1905--1989), he switched to %%% physics under Enrico Fermi, then a young %%% 26-year old Professor of Theoretical Physics %%% with his own research group. Majorana was %%% officially admitted to the physics degree %%% program in early 1928, and completed his %%% masters thesis on 6 July 1928 (entry %%% Majorana:1928:TQN), and his Ph.D. thesis on 7 %%% July 1929 (entry Majorana:1929:SMN), %%% receiving a perfect score for that doctoral %%% thesis. Majorana continued to work with %%% Fermi's group, and on 12 November 1932, he %%% received his ``Libera Docenza'' (university %%% teaching diploma) in theoretical physics, a %%% degree needed to teach in Italian %%% universities. %%% %%% According to page 115 of entry %%% French:1985:NBC, after the experimental %%% discovery of the neutron by James Chadwick in %%% 1932, Werner Heisenberg (Germany), Ettore %%% Majorana (Italy), and Dmitri Ivanenko (USSR) %%% independently proposed that the nucleus is %%% made up of protons and neutrons, and not, as %%% then believed, of protons and electrons. %%% %%% In January 1933, a grant from the Italian %%% National Research Council allowed him to %%% travel for a year. He spent the first half %%% of 1933 in Leipzig with Werner Heisenberg's %%% group, which included Felix Bloch, Friedrich %%% Hund, Rudolph Peierls, and many foreign %%% visitors, spent three summer months with %%% Niels Bohr's group in Copenhagen, returned to %%% Leipzig for a brief stay, and was back in %%% Rome in the fall of 1933. For a detailed %%% timeline of Majorana's research years, see %%% pages 314--317 of entry Esposito:2008:EMH. %%% [There is some disagreement in the literature %%% on the timing of those visits. Esposito says %%% that Majorana spent 19 January--4 March 1933 %%% in Leipzig, 5 March--15 April in Copenhagen, %%% returned to Leipzig on 11 May, and returned %%% to Rome on 5 August 1933.] %%% %%% That summer saw his last publication for four %%% years, during which time he is said to have %%% retreated to his rooms, rarely emerging to %%% meet with anyone. Enrico Fermi in particular %%% was anxious to get Majorana a job so that %%% Majorana could continue to lecture and do %%% research in physics. In October 1937, Fermi %%% arranged the creation of a special chair in %%% physics at the University of Naples for %%% Majorana, who contributed a single, and now %%% famous, paper (entry Majorana:1937:TSD) in %%% support of his application. %%% %%% January 1938 February 1938 March 1938 %%% Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa %%% 1 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 %%% 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 %%% 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 %%% 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 %%% 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 27 28 27 28 29 30 31 %%% 30 31 %%% %%% Majorana gave an inaugural lecture on %%% Thursday 13 January 1938 to fellow faculty %%% members, and began his first lectures to a %%% handful of students on Saturday 15 January %%% 1938. He gave 21 advanced lectures to them %%% up to the last on 24 March. On 23 March %%% 1938, he withdrew all of his money from his %%% bank account. On 25 March, Majorana gave a %%% copy of his lecture notes to one of the %%% students, Gilda Senatore, and took the night %%% ferry from Naples to Palermo, Sicily. %%% %%% Majorana's notes were missing for lectures %%% 2--5 (15--22 January 1938), and there was %%% speculation that they had never been written %%% (see entry DeGregorio:2007:TTP). However, in %%% September 2004, a complete transcription of %%% his lectures, taken by one of the students, %%% Eugenio Moreno, was found in that student's %%% estate, and they have now been edited and %%% reprinted in a book (see entry %%% Majorana:2006:LFT). %%% %%% On 25 March 1938, Majorana wrote a brief and %%% puzzling letter to Director Antonio Carelli %%% of the Naples Physics Institute, followed a %%% few hours later by a telegram asking Carelli %%% to ignore the letter. The next day, 26 March %%% 1938, Majorana sent a second letter %%% announcing ``The sea rejected me and I'll be %%% back tomorrow at the Hotel Bologna'' (where %%% he lived in Naples, not having taken an %%% apartment). English translations of the %%% letters are available in entry %%% Holstein:2009:MDE. %%% %%% At that point, Ettore Majorana disappeared. %%% It is known that he shared a compartment on %%% the return ferry with Professor Michele %%% Strazzeri from the University of Palermo, but %%% nothing further was ever heard from him. %%% %%% There have been numerous speculations %%% published since then about what might have %%% happened (see the list of almost three dozen %%% books below), with theories of %%% %%% * suicide by jumping from the night ferry %%% (but no body was ever found, and %%% Majorana's family said he was too %%% religious to commit suicide); %%% %%% * entering a monastery; %%% %%% * assassination by the Mafia; %%% %%% * being kidnapped by Nazis to work with %%% Heisenberg and other German nuclear %%% physicists on the uranium bomb project %%% (but no record of his presence is %%% available in the thorough post-war %%% studies of that project); and %%% %%% * emigrating to Argentina. %%% %%% On 14 September 1939 (just two weeks after %%% the start of World War II), Majorana was %%% dismissed from his post for absence without %%% leave without justified reason. %%% %%% The latest evidence at the time of writing %%% this in July 2013 is documented by Francesco %%% Guerra and Nadia Robotti in entry %%% Guerra:2013:DDE, based on newly-discovered %%% records in Italy. They believe that Majorana %%% was dead in Italy before September 1939, of %%% unknown causes. Between his disappearance %%% and his dismissal, several searches for %%% Ettore Majorana were carried out by family, %%% friends, and police, and border authorities %%% were on the watch for him, but all efforts %%% were without result. %%% %%% Salvatore Esposito writes this about Fermi's %%% view of Majorana in entry Esposito:2008:EMH %%% ``You see, in the world there are various %%% categories of scientists: there are people of %%% a secondary or third level standing, who do %%% their best but do not go very far. There are %%% also those of high standing, who come to %%% discoveries of great importance, fundamental %%% for the development of science. Then, there %%% are geniuses like Galileo and Newton. Well, %%% Ettore was one of them. Majorana had what %%% no-one else in the world had''. %%% %%% Esposito closes his article with a quote from %%% a letter written by Fermi to Italian Prime %%% Minister (later Dictator --- Il Duce) Benito %%% Mussolini urging government assistance in the %%% search for Majorana: ``Able at the same time %%% to develop audacious hypothesis and criticize %%% acutely his work and that of others; very %%% skilled calculating man, a deep-routed %%% mathematician that never loses the very %%% essence of the physical problem behind the %%% veil of numbers and algorithms, Ettore %%% Majorana has at the highest level that rare %%% collection of abilities which form the %%% theoretical physicist of very %%% first-rank. Indeed, in the few years during %%% which his activity has been carried out, %%% until now, he has been able to outclass the %%% attention of scholars from all over the %%% world, who recognized, in his works, the %%% stamp of one of the greatest minds of our %%% times and the promise of further conquests.'' %%% %%% Esposito also reports an anecdote about how %%% Majorana learned of Fermi's calculation with %%% a statistical method now called the %%% Thomas--Fermi model, then returned a day %%% later with his own calculations, checked them %%% against Fermi's numbers, and declared them %%% correct. Majorana found a completely %%% different, and easier, way to solve the %%% differential equation. %%% %%% Esposito writes ``The major finding by %%% Majorana was his solution (or, rather, %%% methods of solutions) of the Thomas--Fermi %%% equation, which remained completely unknown, %%% until recent times, to the physicists %%% community, which failed to realize that the %%% non-linear differential equation relevant for %%% atoms and other systems could be solved %%% semi-analytically. An intriguing property in %%% the Majorana derivation of the solution of %%% the Thomas--Fermi equation is that his method %%% can be easily generalized and applied to a %%% large class of particular differential %%% equations. Several generalizations of the %%% Thomas--Fermi method for atoms were proposed %%% as well by Majorana, but they were considered %%% by the physicists community, unaware of %%% Majorana's unpublished works, only many years %%% later.'' There is more on Majorana's work on %%% the Thomas--Fermi method in entry %%% Guerra:2008:EMF. That paper reports: ``From %%% a physical point of view, in Fermi's %%% formulation each electron in an atom %%% interacts with itself, because the mutual %%% repulsion between electrons is described by %%% the overall electric-charge density, while in %%% Majorana's improvement this self-interaction %%% is avoided by means of an averaging argument, %%% yielding a relationship between the %%% microscopic electric-field potential and the %%% effective-field potential. The Majorana %%% effective field that acts upon the optical %%% electron, of course, is slightly different %%% from the Fermi effective field. Moreover, in %%% Majorana's formulation, neutral atoms and %%% ions have finite radii. One consequence, for %%% example, is that Fermi's method yields the %%% ground-state energy of a hydrogen atom with %%% an error of 54\% owing to the spurious %%% self-repulsion of the electric cloud of a %%% single electron, while Majorana's improvement %%% avoids this self-repulsion. Majorana's %%% communication constitutes the first treatment %%% of positive ions in the literature within the %%% framework of the Thomas--Fermi statistical %%% model. Moreover, it permits the existence of %%% stable negative ions of unit charge ....''. %%% It later reports ``Remarkably, Majorana's %%% improvement was never cited or even mentioned %%% subsequently by Fermi and his group in Rome %%% in their numerous publications on the %%% Thomas-Fermi model, nor by Majorana's %%% biographers. This neglect indicates the %%% importance of undertaking a full-scale %%% historical examination of all of Majorana's %%% researches on atomic, molecular, nuclear, and %%% elementary-particle physics between 1928 and %%% 1938 based not only upon his rather small %%% number of published papers but also upon his %%% unpublished research notebooks.'' %%% %%% Majorana's fellow student, Bruno Pontecorvo, %%% is quoted in entry Recami:2006:SWE with %%% ``Some time after his entry into Fermi's %%% group, Majorana already possessed such an %%% erudition and had reached such a high level %%% of comprehension of physics that he was able %%% to speak on the same level with Fermi about %%% scientific problems. Fermi himself held him %%% to be the greatest theoretical physicist of %%% our time. He often was astounded [...]. I %%% remember exactly these words that Fermi %%% spoke: `If a problem has already been %%% proposed, no one in the world can resolve it %%% better than Majorana.''' %%% %%% In his brief scientific lifetime, Majorana %%% wrote only 12 papers, plus his unpublished %%% Masters and Ph.D. theses (entries %%% Majorana:1928:TQN and Majorana:1929:SMN). %%% [Some authors claim that Majorana wrote only %%% 10 papers, but our entries show otherwise.] %%% Of those, 13 are in Italian, and one in %%% German. A thirteenth paper was discovered in %%% his estate by one of his brothers and %%% published posthumously in 1942 in Italian. %%% It was republished in English translation in %%% 2005 (see entry Mantegna:2005:PET). Because %%% Italian was not widely understood in the %%% scientific community outside of Italy, and %%% the journal Il Nuovo Cimento was not even %%% indexed in the English-language world until %%% after World War II, most physicists of his %%% generation were largely unaware of Majorana's %%% work, and only his immediate colleagues in %%% Fermi's group in Rome recognized and %%% appreciated Majorana's abilities and %%% accomplishments. %%% %%% More recently, a paper by Majorana written in %%% French was discovered, probably for a %%% conference in the USSR in 1933 or 1934, but %%% not presented or published there. See %%% entries Esposito:2006:MIF, %%% Esposito:2007:HTQa, and Esposito:2007:HTQb. %%% %%% Barry Holstein (entry Holstein:2009:MDE) %%% reports that Majorana predicted the neutron, %%% but never published his work: ``... Majorana %%% became a very reluctant author. Once he had %%% discovered something, he considered his own %%% work to be commonplace, so that he was very %%% disinclined to write anything about it. An %%% example is the work by Joliot and Curie in %%% France, which had discovered a neutral %%% particle that could enter matter and expel a %%% proton. The experimenters assumed that the %%% particle must be a photon, since that was the %%% only neutral particle known at the %%% time. However, Majorana immediately saw that %%% it must be a particle with a mass near that %%% of the proton, in order to move something as %%% heavy as the proton. When he heard this, %%% Fermi urged him to write it up immediately, %%% but nothing happened and soon thereafter %%% Chadwick was (properly) given the credit for %%% the discovery of the neutron for his work %%% using beryllium''. James Chadwick received %%% the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics ``for the %%% discovery of the neutron''; see %%% %%% http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1935/ %%% %%% See also entry DeGregorio:2005:PNO for %%% more on the history of the discovery %%% of the neutron. %%% %%% Majorana's 1937 paper offered an alternate %%% theory of neutrinos to that of Paul Dirac. %%% It is still an unresolved experimental %%% question which of the two alternatives best %%% describes neutrinos in nature. Half of the %%% 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics went to Raymond %%% Davis Jr. and Masatoshi Koshiba ``for %%% pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in %%% particular for the detection of cosmic %%% neutrinos''. See %%% %%% http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2002/ %%% %%% According to entry Cohen-Tannoudji:2012:NDP, %%% Davis and Koshiba showed that neutrinos %%% definitely have a tiny but nonzero mass, but %%% that mass is still unmeasured. Thus, neutrino %%% experiments are still a hot research area in %%% physics. %%% %%% There are claims that Majorana discovered the %%% path integral idea that Richard Feynman %%% developed in 1948 (and Paul Dirac had %%% introduced in 1933 in his paper ``The %%% Lagrangian in quantum mechanics''). However, %%% other authors disagree, observing that %%% Majorana's notes only hint at that idea. See %%% entries Esposito:2006:FVTa, %%% Esposito:2006:FVTb, Esposito:2006:MPI, %%% Esposito:2007:EMC, Esposito:2008:EMH, and %%% Holstein:2009:MDE. %%% %%% Majorana's works are reprinted in the %%% original Italian, and in English translation %%% with commentary, in the volume Ettore %%% Majorana Scientific Papers (entries %%% Bassani:2006:EMS and Bassani:2010:EMS). %%% Majorana's unpublished notes and works are %%% collected in two other volumes (see entries %%% Esposito:2003:EMN and Esposito:2009:EMU). %%% %%% Majorana's unpublished (during his lifetime) %%% works include his master's thesis (6 July %%% 1928), his ``Volumetti'' (5 notebooks) (8 %%% March 1927--1938), and his ``Quaderni'' (18 %%% booklets). Those names are frequently used %%% in writings about him. %%% %%% The year 2006 was the centennial of Ettore %%% Majorana's birth, and a conference (entry %%% Rapisarda:2006:ICE) commemorated that event. %%% Entry Esposito:2007:EMC gives a centennial %%% overview of Majorana's impact. %%% %%% Like Isaac Newton, Majorana was not much %%% interested in publication;

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.''

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.

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.

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.", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, eprint = "arXiv:physics/0608279", keywords = "Physics - History of Physics", } @Article{Mantegna:2006:TAEb, author = "Rosario Nunzio Mantegna", title = "The tenth article of {Ettore Majorana}", journal = j-EUROPHYS-NEWS, volume = "37", number = "4", pages = "15--17", month = jul # "\slash " # aug, year = "2006", CODEN = "EUPNAS", DOI = "https://doi.org/10.1051/epn:2006402", ISSN = "0531-7479 (print), 1432-1092 (electronic)", ISSN-L = "0531-7479", bibdate = "Wed Jul 10 06:27:02 2013", bibsource = "https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/bibnet/authors/m/majorana-ettore.bib", URL = "http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006ENews..37...15M; http://www.europhysicsnews.org/articles/epn/abs/2006/04/epn06402/epn06402.html", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, fjournal = "Europhysics News", journal-URL = "http://www.europhysicsnews.org", remark = "This paper refers to the Italian original \cite{Majorana:1942:VDL} and its English translation \cite{Mantegna:2005:PET}.

Fermi, Majorana got a full-professorship at Naples University, for exceptional scientific merits, outside the competition normal procedures.

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).

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'.

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.

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 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.", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, eprint = "http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6342/1055.full.pdf", fjournal = "Science", journal-URL = "http://www.sciencemag.org/archive/", } @Article{Lanouette:2017:LMM, author = "William Lanouette", title = "The Little Match's Momentous Legacy: {{\booktitle{The Pope of Physics: Enrico Fermi and the Birth of the Atomic Age}} by Gino Segr{\`e} and Bettina Hoerlin.
