The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Norman Feather, on a paper 'Slow neutron-induced activity in gold' by Karl Manne Georg Siegbahn

Reference number: RR/69/291

Date: 16 April 1946

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in Proceedings. The summary should be reduced. The points of agreement between these results and earlier results are 'not sufficiently stressed'. It is a pity that the author hasn't followed up on his work with magnetic spectorgraphy.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1947].
