Abstract:
This article analyzes the reception of Ettore Majorana's articles by tracing all the references made to them since the beginning of the 1930s. This methodology allows me to show that Ettore Majorana's 1937 piece on spin-1/2 particles was largely rediscovered during the 1960s, but also to identify the people who actively promoted Majorana's work, which has loomed larger in scientific debates since the 1970s. Analyzing co-citations, this article shows the conceptual network in which Majorana's work fits.
