The Nobel Prize in Physics 1927 was divided equally between Arthur Holly Compton "for his discovery of the effect named after him" and Charles Thomson Rees Wilson "for his method of making the paths of electrically charged particles visible by condensation of vapour"
The present work is a revision of Compton's X-Rays and Electrons published in 1926, substantially updating the state of the art in 1935 with significant assistance from Professor Allison.
