Referee's report by James Chadwick, on a paper 'The diffraction of electrons in the halogens' by F L Arnot

Reference number: RR/50/18

Date: November 1933

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in Proceedings, in full after modifications. The discussion part of the paper isn't good. The general picture is 'rather crude' and there are some mistakes. The author should write directly to him so they can discuss these points further.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1934].

Endorsed on verso as received 22 November 1933.
