Abstract
CHADWICK and Goldhaber, in their letter to NATURE on January 12, record experiments which indicate that slow neutrons can eject heavy charged particles from light atoms, even when the neutron traverses the atom “at relatively large distances” from the nucleus. To account for this, they suggest that there may be an attractive force between a nucleus and a neutron, at these large distances.
