Note that earlier in this same year, 1930, Bothe and Becker published an initial announcement and a brief discussion of their findings in Die Naturwissenschaften 18, 1930. We offer that work separately. Walther Bothe and Herbert Becker believed they had observed gamma radiation -- -rays (very energetic photons) being emitted from a beryllium target bombarded by -particles; in reality they had seen neutrons. By 1932, James Chadwick had correctly interpreted Bothe and Becker's research and discovered the neutron. Bothe won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954 for his work on the wave-particle duality of radiation, but the prize committee also specifically mentioned the work offered here.… Leer más
