1. Quantenmechanik der Ein- und Zwei-Elektronenprobleme (_Quantum Mechanics of One- and Two-Electron Problems_) (1929): This was Bethe's doctoral dissertation, which he completed under the supervision of Max Born at the University of Göttingen.
2. Zur Theorie des Durchgangs schneller Korpuskularstrahlen durch Materie (_On the Theory of the Passage of Fast Corpuscular Rays Through Matter_) (1930): In this paper, Bethe developed the Bethe-Bloch formula, which describes the energy loss of heavy charged particles traversing matter.
3. Nuclear Physics A Stationary Method for Bound State Problems (1935): Together with Rudolf Peierls, Bethe pioneered a new method, known as the Bethe-Peierls approximation, for calculating energy levels in nuclei.
4. Theory of Nuclear Reactions (1936): This paper presented a comprehensive theory describing the processes and rates of nuclear reactions. It became fundamental in the field of nuclear physics.
5. Energy Production in Stars (1938): Bethe proposed the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle, a crucial process that generates energy in stars. It's one of two primary stellar nucleosynthesis mechanisms, alongside the proton-proton chain reaction.
6. Elementary Nuclear Theory (1947): This book co-authored with Robert Bacher, provided an introduction to nuclear physics, covering topics such as nuclear structure, reactions, and forces.
7. Quantum Mechanics of Elementary Particles (1964): Bethe teamed up with Richard L. Wilson to compose this comprehensive treatise on the quantum mechanics of particles.
8. The Road from Los Alamos (1991): Bethe wrote a memoir chronicling his experiences at the Los Alamos National Laboratory during the Manhattan Project and beyond.
These are just a few examples of Hans Bethe's noteworthy publications. He made significant contributions to various areas of physics during his illustrious career.
