Papers, 1942-1945.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77631668

Scientific reports; notes; letters; interview. Scientific reports, notes, and letters document the work of Wideröe and others in Germany during World War II on betatron (a type of particle accelerator) development and related topics. In 1945, he took these papers to Norway where he was interned in a concentration camp near Oslo. While there, Wideröe wrote a detailed account of his research during the war, covering both the theoretical and practical questions of construction of the betatron, and was interviewed by Capt. Gunnar Randers for the ALSOS Mission investigation of German atomic bomb research. Randers assembled this collection for a report to Samuel A. Goudsmit, head of the ALSOS Mission.
