On the properties of K-mesons. Dittoed preprint
Publisher Information: 1956. Reproduced (dittoed) typescript. 15ff. 282 x 218 mm. Unbound, stapled. From the library of Nobel Laureate Owen Chamberlain (1920-2006), with his signature on the first leaf. Light horizontal creases where previously folded, but very good. Preprint issue of Schwinger's paper, published under the title "The dynamical theory of K mesons" in Phys. Rev. 104 (1956). In the paper Schwinger argued that parity could not be violated; however, at this time C. N. Yang and T. D. Lee were testing the possibility that parity could be violated in weak interactions (the two later won the Nobel Prize for demonstrating that this was indeed the case). Schwinger, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University, was responsible for much of modern quantum field theory; he, Richard Feynman and Shinichiro Tomonaga received the Nobel Prize in 1965 for their work on quantum electrodynamics.
