Why couldn't the mysterious rays coming out of Beryllium foil in Chadwick's experiment on being hit by alpha particles have been gamma rays?
Those rays were travelling in a straight line whereas gamma rays are diffused.
Gamma photons are massless so we can't expect them to hit and displace a heavier particle like proton with such high energy.
Those rays were not getting deflected by electric or magnetic field, unlike any other EM wave.
