| Abstract: | Physicist Ugo Fano (1912-2001) was a pioneer in atomic theory and radiation physics. This collection consists of 13.5 linear feet of research material, lecture notes, correspondence, drafts and publications. The largest part of the collection contains research papers drafted for journal submission, often with correspondence between Fano and the editors, as well as Fano's own notes and research data. Correspondence in the collection represents discussions of technical details of physics and machines, between Fano and his friends, colleagues at other institutions, and former and current students. Other material in the collection documents Fano's work as a teacher and lecturer; his participation in conferences and professional organization; and his administrative activities at the University of Chicago. |
The collection is open for research, with the exception of materials in Series IX, Restricted. Materials in Box 27 are restricted for 30 years from date of record creation. Materials in Box 28 are restricted for 50 years from date of record creation. Materials in Box 29 are restricted for 80 years from date of record creation.

Ugo Fano was born July 28, 1912 in Turin, Italy, to Gino Fano, a prominent mathematician. He earned his doctorate in mathematics from the University of Turin in 1934, worked at the University of Rome with Enrico Fermi, and the University of Leipzig with Werner Heisenberg. Fano then immigrated to the United States in 1939, with his wife and collaborator, Camilla "Lilla" Lattes Fano. He continued his work at several institutions, including the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) and the University of Chicago. Fano made lasting contributions to the fields of physics and chemistry, particularly in the theory of atomic and radiation physics.
With Enrico Fermi as a mentor, Fano's early work in the United States was in radiation biology, where his research on the effects of X-rays and neurons helped to identify the biological hazards of radiation. Fano joined the National Bureau of Standards in 1946 as a theoretical physicist. In the next twenty years, Fano conducted seminal research in the physics of atoms, molecules and matter, as well as in radiation physics. His theoretical contributions formed the basis of future practical applications, such as the use of radiation for medical therapy and diagnosis, and the development of gas lasers. Fano's legacy is also remembered in the naming of phenomena such as the Fano resonance profile, Fano factor, Fano effect, and the Fano–Lichten mechanism
In 1966, Fano joined the University of Chicago as a professor in the Department of Physics and the James Franck Institute. Fano taught classes on atomic and quantum physics, and served as chair of the physics department from 1972 to 1974. Many of the graduate students he trained went on to leading positions in academia and research.
Fano was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, the American Physical Society, the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, and the Royal Society of London. His achievements were recognized by awards from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Energy, as well as honorary degrees from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, and Queen's University in Belfast.
Fano died February 13, 2001, in Chicago, Illinois at the age of 88. The Ugo Fano Fund to support graduate students was established in his memory.
This collection documents Fano's research, teaching and professional activities, and is arranged into eight series.
Series I: Research, contains Fano’s work in the interactions of atoms with light, electrons, and each other. This includes article offprints from other researchers, Fano’s own publications, handwritten research notes, and correspondence with others in the fields of atomic, molecular, and quantum physics. The research has been arranged by topic and then chronologically, beginning with Fano's most recent work. The majority of the information contained in this series involves research in atomic and quantum physics, though it also delves into early designs for lasers. Some of the topics include: Quantum Defect Theory, photoionization, Rydberg states, diamagnetism, and collision theory.
Series II: Correspondence, contains Fano's correspondence with his colleagues in atomic physics, and with former and current students. T This series contains correspondence with other professionals in the field on various topics in physics, as well as some more personal correspondence. An interesting item included with his correspondence is a copy of the 1st generation of Edward Teller's "The Meson Song," presented at a 1948 Conference in Colorado.
Series III: Conferences, contains Fano's lecture materials for conferences. This includes lecture notes, graphs, transparencies, and literature from scientific organizations. Series III has been arranged chronologically, beginning with the most recent material.
Series IV: Teaching, contains Fano’s lecture materials for classes. This includes notes used in classes, quizzes for courses, and course plans. Materials are arranged chronologically, beginning with the most recent material.
Series V: Organizations, contains literature from scientific organizations of which Fano was a member, as well as meeting minutes, correspondence and other administrative records of the University of Chicago's James Franck Institute and the Department of Physics. It also includes minutes from meetings, literature from organizations, and correspondence.
Series VI: Academic Employment, contains Fano’s employment records and curriculum vitae, as well as some copies of Fano's publications. This series includes Fano’s C.V., and reports and correspondence related to his employment at the University of Chicago and at the National Bureau of Standards.
Series VII: Personal, contains Fano's personal materials, including his memoirs, interviews, and memories of his colleagues. This series has been arranged chronologically, beginning with the most recent material, and includes a photograph of his father, Gino Fano.
Series VIII: Books, contains copies of books by Fano and others, with Fano’s notes included. This series has been arranged chronologically.
Series IX: Restricted, contains personnel records, student evaluations and letters of recommendations, graded student work, and financial reports. Materials in Box 27 are restricted for 30 years from date of record creation. Materials in Box 28 are restricted for 50 years from date of record creation. Materials in Box 29 are restricted for 80 years from date of record creation.
Many of the documents in this collection are in Italian, with the majority of the remaining material in English.
