Indirect evidence on the existence of neutral penetrating particles. " Chronology of Milestone Events in Particle Physics (COMPAS (IHEP) and PDG (LBNL)). He elected to go to the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin in 1913, to study beta radiation under Hans Geiger. Using Geiger's recently developed Geiger counter, which provided more accuracy than the earlier photographic techniques, he was able to demonstrate that beta radiation produced a continuous spectrum, and not discrete lines as had been thought. Sir James Chadwick, CH, FRS (1891-1974) English physicist who was awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the neutron in 1932. In 1941, he wrote the final draft of the MAUD Report, which inspired the U.S. government to begin serious atom bomb research efforts. He was the head of the British team that worked on the Manhattan Project during World War II. He was knighted in Britain in 1945 for his achievements in physics.
