is the only possible one. This says that the energy losses must take place nmch more freely than the assunlptions made in the theory used permit. As there is little doubt of the reality of the quantum conditions of energy transfer to electrons, the conclusion must be reached that it is in the application of dynamics that the error lies. It can probably be led back to the assumption that the electron was initially at rest and responded to the a-particle as if absolutely free. Since the velocity of the electrons in their orbits are of the order of those of the a-particles, it seems quite probable that the assumptions of electrons initially at rest and free are the cause of the error. The solution on the better hypothesis, however, leads to the complicated multiple body problems of dynamics which have not been soh,ed.
