The account of a lifetime

The book is a scientific tribute to Adriano Gozzini (1917-1994) on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of his death. Pioneer of molecular spectroscopy of microwave, optical pumping and laser spectroscopy, Gozzini was one of the leaders of the last century in the field of atomic physics. The book reproduces 20 articles written by Adriano Gozzini, including an unpublished preprint, chosen to provide a complete picture of the different topics addressed by the scientist during his scientific career. Each item is associated commentary by scientists who have collaborated with him or international experts on the subject matter, including Nobel laureates C. Cohen-Tannoudji, T.W. Haensch and S. Haroche.
