| Title | Referee's report by James Chadwick, on a paper 'On nuclear structure and particle emission' by F H Newman and H T Walke |
| Date | [July 1934] |
| Description | Sectional Committee: Mathematics
No clear statement regarding publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Cannot see how 'juggling with atomic numbers' can give new ideas, 'without any consideration of the forces between the particles'. Refers to work of Jean Baptiste Perrin. Suggests some points require further explanation. Suggests the authors 'examine the experimental data very carefully and postpone publication until their suggestions receive definite support'.
