	George Paget Thomson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomson and Rose Elisabeth Paget, the daughter of the Professor of Medicine at Cambridge.
		George Thomson was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1937 for his work in Aberdeen in discovering the wave-like properties of the electron.
		In particular Thomson was the chairman of the crucial MAUD Committee in 1940-1941 that concluded that an atomic bomb was feasible.

	Thomson, Sir J.J.
		Thomson was the son of a bookseller in a suburb of Manchester.
		Thomson may be described as "the man who split the atom" for the first time, although "chipped" might be a better word, in view of the size and number of electrons.
		Thomson was, moreover, an outstanding teacher; his importance in physics depended almost as much on the work he inspired in others as on that which he did himself.

		Joseph John Thomson was born in Cheetham Hill, a suburb of Manchester on December 18, 1856.
		Thomson's early interest in atomic structure was reflected in his Treatise on the Motion of Vortex Rings which won him the Adams Prize in 1884.
		Thomson co-operated with Professor J. Poynting in a four-volume textbook of physics, Properties of Matter and in 1895 he produced Elements of the Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism, the 5th edition of which appeared in 1921.

	Joseph John Thomson Birthday
		Thomson's achievements were recognized by his peers early on, an in 1884 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London and appointed to the chair of physics at the Cavendish Laboratory.
		J.J. and Rose had two children: George Paget Thomson became a prominent physicist himself and was later awarded the Nobel Prize (1937) for proving that the electron was in fact a wave, and Joan Paget Thomson often accompanied her father in his travels.
		Thomson observed that cathode rays, a strange stream of particles that appeared to fly across a vacuum tube when an electric current was introduced across it, would bend in the presence of a magnetic field.

		Using magnetic and electric fields to deflect positive rays, Thomson found in 1912 that ions of neon gas are deflected by different amounts, indicating that they consist of a mixture of ions with different charge-to-mass ratios.
		Thomson was born near Manchester and studied there and at Cambridge, where he spent his entire career.
		Investigating cathode rays, Thomson proved that they were particulate and found their charge-to-mass ratio to be constant and with a value nearly 1,000 times smaller than that obtained for hydrogen ions in liquid electrolysis.

		Thomson demonstrated (1897) that cathode rays were actually units of electrical current made up of negatively charged particles of subatomic size.
		He believed them to be an integral part of all matter and theorized a model of atomic structure in which a quantity of negatively charged electrons was embedded in a sphere of positive electricity, the two charges neutralizing each other.
		Thomson was a highly gifted teacher--seven of his research assistants as well as his son, George, won Nobel Prizes for physics--and he led Great Britain to dominance in the field of subatomic particles in the early decades of the 20th century.

		Unknown to Thomson, the American physicist C. Davisson had been studying this problem by a different method, and their results were published almost simultaneously.
		In 1952 Thomson was elected Master of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, from which post he retired in 1962.

	The Discovery of Electron
		Thomson suspected that the traces of gas remaining in the tube were being turned into an electrical conductor by the cathode rays themselves.
		Thomson determined the en ratio for these particles by means of electric and magnetic fields and found it to be virtually the same as for the cathode ray corpuscles.
		Thomson's view that the cathode ray particles were the fundamental building block, or even a fundamental building block of atoms was not, however, received with much enthusiasm.

		He was born and educated at Cambridge, the son of physicist J J Thomson.
		During the mid-1920s, Thomson carried out a series of experiments hoping to verify French physicist Louis de Broglie's hypothesis that electrons possess duality, acting both as particles and as waves.
		Applying mathematical formulas to measurements of the rings, together with a knowledge of the crystal lattice, Thomson showed in 1927 that all the readings were in complete agreement with de Broglie's theory.

		Influenced by the work of James Clerk Maxwell, and the discovery of the X-ray, he deduced that cathode rays (see cathode ray tube) existed of negatively charged particles, which he called "corpuscles", and which are now known as electrons.
		The electron had been posited earlier, by G. Johnstone Stoney, as a unit of charge in electrochemistry, but Thomson realised that it was also a subatomic particle, the first one to be discovered.
