components while they are clearly separate in the direct picture.
Duane and his collaborators repeated the Compton experiments at Harvard, using again the ionization chamber method, and failed to obtain any trace of the Compton shift. At the February meeting of the Physical Society, 1924, they took the view that the Compton effect did not exist, but that what both Compton and Ross had observed was the
-rays of molybdenum with their energy diminished by the work necessary to eject electrons from the
shell of the carbon atom.[192] This would actually produce a “scattered line” from carbon which would be practically coincident with Ross’s published line, though it should not give a dependence of
