1 Chadwick Experiment

2 History 1930 Bothe & Becker performed an expt. Neutron is neutral and causes no ionization and cannot be detected in a cloud chamber Ref: Further Physics

3 Curie and Joliot use n to bombard H, N & C with mass number (A) BeA  n A The nuclei A being positively charged could be detected and their velocities could also be measured. The fact that these nuclei bounced forward confirmed the existence of the neutral particle.

4 BeA  n A n + A n + A Mass m M velocities u 0 v V However u is unknown!

5 Chadwick realized that if the result for 2 different nuclei was considered, say M and M’, then u would cancel Chadwick used H (3.3x10 7 m/s) and N (4.7x10 7 m/s)

6 The experimental result is about 10 to 20 % Mass of neutron m = 1.1 mass of hydrogen nucleus As a result Mass of neutron = 1.675 x 10 -27 kg Mass of proton = 1.673 x 10 -27 kg Solving Free neutron will decay into a proton and an electron within 15 minute with 50% chance Modern measurement
