Abstract
The paper is primarily a review article covering work within the last five years preceding the summer of 1952. The principal features of experimental results on nucleon-nucleon scattering are summarized. The main conclusions of the theory of nuclear forces are reviewed with an attempt at a distinction between knowledge and speculation. The photoelectric effect of the deuteron, evidence regarding isobaric states from meson physics, the proof of the pseudoscalar character of the π-meson are briefly discussed as part of the main problem, and a partial account is given of relevant progress in the fields of binding energies of light nuclei and shell theory.
