Abstract
Massey and Buckingham1,5 have pointed out that a study of the collisions of neutrons with deuterons can be expected to throw light on the nature of the nucleon forces even when the neutron energy is comparatively low. In a recent survey1 of experimental data, they conclude that the evidence is in favour of exchange forces. It seems worth while, therefore, to report some experiments which give support to ordinary, rather than exchange, forces.
