Hahn was happy to be able to excuse himself: he had a previous lecture engagement in Sweden. Professor Josef Mattauch, newly arrived in Dahlem from Vienna Prof. Abraham Esau to take the place of Lise Meitner, deputized for him. * Dr. Dames, head of the Ministry’s research department, voiced his disquiet at the way in which Hahn had been able to publish his vital discovery to the world.

Again, in an experiment designed by Dr. von Droste in Berlin to detect the alpha particles which the then current theory suggested would be ejected by uranium and thorium under neutron bombardment, only the thin metal foils with which he had covered his uranium and thorium samples (to eliminate the naturally ejected alpha particles of low energy) prevented him from finding the very large bursts of ionization caused by fission fragments.
