The British physicist Joseph John “J. J.” Thomson (1856–1940) performed a series of experiments in 1897 designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high-vacuum cathode-ray tube, an area being investigated by many scientists at the time.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1906 was awarded to Joseph John Thomson "in recognition of the great merits of his theoretical and experimental investigations on the conduction of electricity by gases"
3 days ago · In this paper we restrict our attention to two of the leading contributors, Joseph J. Thomson (1856–1940) and Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937). We begin with Thomson who sought to describe a structure of the atom that accommodates both its mechanical and electromagnetic properties, but he had little experimental data to base it on.
