Extract

A repetition has been made, with the introduction of electrical counting methods, of the experiment of Bothe and Geiger on the simultaneous production of a scattered quantum and of a recoil electron in the scattering of X-rays. Evidence has been obtained that such coincidences do actually occur, in agreement with the results of the original experiment, and with the Compton theory of scattering.
