“…In May 1931, well in advance with Chadwick's breakthrough short note to Nature [Chadwick 1932] announcing the 'Possible existence of the neutron', the particle postulated by Rutherford in his Bakerian Lecture to the Royal Society in 1920 [Rutherford 1920], R. M. Langer and Nathan Rosen of MIT proposed that the combination of an electron and a proton "would be very useful in explaining a number of atomic and cosmic phenomena" [Langer and Rosen 1931]. Their main aim was to "offer a way of describing the process of building up of the heavier elements" but they also proposed that a part of the packing energy released in the formation of neutrons from hydrogen could be "radiated in a single quantum" thus explaining the production of cosmic radiation as observed by Millikan and others.…”

“…5 Dès le mois de mai 1931, les physiciens américains Langer et Rosen au MIT 1 spéculèrent sur l'existence d'un coeur de neutrons à l'intérieur des naines blanches [7]. En 1937, Landau suggéra que les étoiles ordinaires pourraient puiser leur énergie de l'accrétion de matière sur un coeur de neutrons [8].…”

“…C'est cette pression quantique qui assure la cohésion des naines blanches et des étoiles à neutrons, du moins tant que la masse de l'étoile n'excède pas une certaine masse limite. Le développement de la physique nucléaire et le calcul de l'équation d'état de la matière à très haute densité La neutronisation de la matière dense 7 Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de nombreux physiciens de premier plan dirigés par Oppenheimer participèrent au projet Manhattan pour le développement de la bombe atomique. Les progrès spectaculaires qui furent réalisés en physique nucléaire permirent des avancées significatives dans l'étude de l'effondrement des étoiles.…”

“…Hence in an elastic spherically symmetrical model the neutron is like a hydrogen atom in a nearly zero quantum state, as was discussed in 1920 by Rutherford [1]. This model was discussed for the first time from the point of view of quantum theory by Langer and Rosen [19]. For such a system they supposed the interaction between a material particle and a possible neutron would be of the form e 2 e −λr , where the parameter λ is connected with the binding energy.…”
