Abstract
Prof. D. Skobeltzyn and E. Stepanowa have measured the relative number, and the amount of the deflection of the paths of fast electrons scattered by passage through nitrogen gas. They find deflections of more than 30 °, in greater numbers than predicted by theory; in their view the scattering cannot be explained by the extranuclear electrical field of the nitrogen atom or by collision with other electrons, and they suggest that it may be connected with an effect due to the nucleus of the atom.
